Additional funding also will be provided to The Power to Care, which provides payment assistance to Entergy Texas customers who are low-income seniors and people with disabilities.

The weather outside may be frightful, but your energy bill does not have to be.
Instead of cranking up the thermostat during the cold weather months, Entergy offers information on free or low-cost steps to make your home more energy efficient to help save money on your utility bills.
With many customers still working or taking on other activities from home due to the pandemic, managing and conserving your energy usage is more important than ever, Entergy says.
Remember, heating and air conditioning can account for more than 50% of a homeâs energy usage. Setting the thermostat to 68 degrees during the winter months is an easy way to reduce your energy usage. Every degree above 68 degrees can increase your bill by about 3%. So, if you crank it up to 78 degrees, for example, you could add 30% to your bill.
