Entergy Mississippi Offers Arsenal of Savings Tools for Summer
‘You’ve Got the Power’ gives customers multiple ways to save on energy bills
As temperatures rise and electricity use increases, Entergy Mississippi, Inc. reminds customers that there’s power in numbers when it comes to saving money on summer energy bills.
Through its new “You’ve Got the Power” initiative, Entergy is offering multiple ways to help customers gain more control over energy use and receive assistance with energy expenses.
“We work with our customers throughout the year to give them effective ways to save energy and manage costs,” said Kenny Goza, customer account manager for Entergy Mississippi, Inc. in Brookhaven. “This is especially important during the summer when electricity use rises along with the temperatures.
“Through ‘You’ve Got the Power,’ we’re making customers aware of all the choices and options they have to gain more control over energy usage and reduce energy bills.”
Customers have access to money-saving tips, tools and options in one powerful online resource —ENsight, Entergy’s website to help customers save money on their bills. A click on the “Save Money on Your Bill” icon at entergy-mississippi.com takes customers to an enhanced, one-stop shop of online information and tools that help customers learn about energy-saving options.
Enhanced features on ENsight include energy, lighting and appliance calculators, simple tips to make your home or business more energy-efficient and information about available energy-efficiency programs.
In addition to the many energy- and money-saving options presented on ENsight, customers can also take advantage of powerful Entergy Mississippi account and bill payment choices such as Level Billing to manage energy costs more effectively year-round.
Through partnerships with nonprofit agencies, Entergy also offers programs to help low-income, elderly and disabled customers who are particularly vulnerable when temperatures soar along with energy expenses. The Power to Care program provides emergency bill payment assistance to low-income seniors and disabled individuals in crisis. Entergy’s annual “Beat the Heat” program distributes hundreds of energy-efficient box fans and air conditioner window units to qualifying customers to provide relief during the hottest months of the year.
In addition to these programs, Entergy is taking proactive steps to reduce the impact of higher energy costs on customers. Employing a diverse fuel mix to generate electricity and using hedging practices to lock in fuel prices at affordable rates are two steps that have saved customers millions of dollars.
Throughout the summer, Entergy representatives will be busy in communities making energy-efficiency presentations and conducting workshops designed to help customers save money.
“This summer, ‘You’ve Got the Power’ reminds customers that they have the power of choice when it comes to saving money on their Entergy bills,” said Goza. “We encourage customers to learn more about our energy-saving programs that can increase the efficiency of their homes and businesses.”
