Entergy offers variety of bill management and assistance options for winter season

Cooler temperatures can increase power usage and bills
Cooler temperatures are here in our region, meaning some of us are already turning on our heaters to take the chill out of the air. Producing heat requires a lot of electricity, which can drive up your energy usage and bills.
You don’t have to compromise comfort to keep your winter energy bills down. We recently shared free or low-cost energy efficiency tips that can go a long way in conserving energy and saving money during the winter season. If you do receive a higher-than-expected winter energy bill, we have additional resources to help.
