Entergy electricity rates in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas

What each Entergy utility charged on average

Entergy is a holding company. Its five operating utilities, Entergy Arkansas, Entergy Louisiana, Entergy New Orleans, Entergy Mississippi and Entergy Texas, each have their own rates and report separately to EIA, so "Entergy rates" means five different numbers. Each figure below is average revenue per kWh: what residential customers paid in total, customer charge, fuel adjustment and riders included, divided by the kWh they used. It is not a line from any tariff.

The full-year column comes from EIA-861, the final annual survey of every utility; the last 12 months (September 2025 to August 2026) and the single month come from EIA-861M, EIA's monthly sample, whose 2026 months are preliminary. All three columns cover bundled residential customers, who buy supply and delivery from the utility.

The order changes with the period

For the 2025 year, Entergy Louisiana was the lowest-priced utility in the group at 11.90¢ per kWh and Entergy Texas the highest at 13.89¢ per kWh, with Entergy Mississippi close behind at 13.86¢ per kWh. All five were below the 17.78¢ per kWh average of US investor-owned utilities that year. Among the 177 US utilities with 100,000 or more residential customers, Entergy Louisiana's average was tied for 15th lowest of 177 and Entergy Texas's tied for 63rd lowest of 177².

Over the last 12 months (September 2025 to August 2026), every Entergy utility averaged more than in 2025, and Entergy Mississippi moved to the top: 15.40¢ per kWh, against its 2025 average of 13.86¢ per kWh². No other utility in the group rose as far between the two periods. In the single month of August 2026, Entergy Mississippi's average was +16.0% against the same month a year earlier and Entergy Arkansas's +8.6%, while Entergy Louisiana's barely moved (+0.4%³). The US residential average changed by +3.4%¹ over the same comparison.

The step from 2024 to 2025 ranked the utilities differently. Entergy Louisiana's annual average rose the most, +7.7%, from 11.05¢ per kWh⁴ to 11.90¢ per kWh; Entergy Mississippi followed with +4.9%, Entergy Arkansas +3.0%, Entergy Texas +1.7% and Entergy New Orleans +1.3%². A ranking built on one period alone would miss that the utility with the lowest price also had the largest annual increase. Each utility page shows its month-by-month history.

Against the other utilities in each state

The Entergy utilities sit differently within their own states. In 2025, Entergy Texas's residential average was 9.8% below the Texas average, a state figure that includes the customers of retail electric providers. Entergy Louisiana was 5.0% below the Louisiana average and Entergy New Orleans 5.4% above the Louisiana average. Entergy Arkansas was 3.8% above the Arkansas average, and Entergy Mississippi 1.2% below the Mississippi average².

Entergy Texas is a full-service utility in a state better known for retail choice. EIA counts all 469,094 of its residential customers in 2025 as bundled customers of the utility, while statewide 55.5% of Texas residential customers bought from a retail electric provider. Its average covers supply and delivery together, so it should not be set against the delivery-only charges of the Texas delivery utilities, and retail-provider averages describe a different market; the Texas retail choice guide sets out which areas can choose. EIA lists all five Entergy utilities in the MISO² grid region.

Bills: Mississippi and Texas pay the most

Bills follow use as much as price. In 2025, Entergy Texas homes used 1,237 kWh a month and paid $171.83 on average, and Entergy Mississippi homes used 1,210 kWh and paid $167.80. Entergy New Orleans customers used the least, 1,047 kWh, and had the smallest bill, $138.23. Entergy Louisiana's customers used almost as much as Entergy Texas's (1,233 kWh) but paid $146.76², because their average price was lower.

Outages, meters and rooftop solar

Reliability varied more than price. In 2025, counting major storms, Entergy Mississippi customers averaged 640 minutes without power, more than the Mississippi average of 501 minutes, and Entergy Arkansas customers 518 minutes. Entergy New Orleans reported 209 minutes and Entergy Louisiana 253 minutes. Excluding major event days, the figures were 410 minutes for Entergy Mississippi and 174 minutes for Entergy New Orleans, so storms account for only part of the gap. Entergy Texas, at 403 minutes, was more than the Texas average of 225 minutes⁵.

The metering is nearly uniform: EIA's 2025 data show smart meters on 99.1% of Entergy Arkansas's residential accounts and 99.6% of Entergy Mississippi's, with the other three at similar levels. Time-of-use enrolment is minimal: Entergy Arkansas reported 114 residential customers on time-varying pricing in 2025 and Entergy Texas 96⁶.

Rooftop solar is where the five differ most. Entergy New Orleans counted 10,252 net-metered residential systems in 2025, 54.4 per 1,000 residential customers. Entergy Louisiana had 15.8 per 1,000, Entergy Arkansas 13.0, Entergy Texas 12.0 and Entergy Mississippi 2.1⁶.

Which Entergy utility serves an address

The territories are set by EIA's 2025 service records, county by county. Entergy Louisiana reports service in 60 parishes and Entergy New Orleans in 2, Orleans Parish and St. Bernard Parish, both also served by another utility. Entergy Arkansas lists 65 counties, Entergy Mississippi 46 and Entergy Texas 27⁷, almost all shared with at least one other utility. A county or parish name does not settle which utility serves a home; the utility's own service map does, by street address. Each utility page lists its counties and the other utilities in its state.
