06/29/2017
THE WOODLANDS, Texas – With temperatures on the rise in Southeast Texas, there’s good news ahead for Entergy Texas, Inc. customers. Average residential electric bills will drop by $4.59 per month when fuel-related refunds and credits begin showing up on July bills. The lower rates will remain on bills through September.
An average 1,000 kilowatt-hour residential bill currently costs customers approximately $113.65 without city, state or local taxes. Altogether, the company will send some $30.7 million back to customers from July through September. Larger customers will get a lump sum refund in July.
“Our fuel costs have remained low and that means we are able to pass the savings along in the form of a refund to our customers,” said Vernon Pierce, vice president of customer service for Entergy Texas. “This can be especially important at this time of year when hot weather often signals higher energy bills.”
