| We know how important it is that we deliver reliable power at an affordable price. Mississippi is our home, too, and most of us at Entergy are customers just like you. Our teams are driven by purpose and work hard every day to keep your bills as low as possible. That’s why we’re proud to say last year our electric rates were 20% below the national average.  2024 average retail price (cents per kWh) 6 cost-saving actions we’re taking today to stay below the national average Recruiting large customers who help pay grid costs: Entergy’s work helping communities recruit large businesses provides our region benefits like new jobs, tax revenue growth and investments. But it also helps lower the cost of power for residential customers, too. Having large, industrial or technology/data centers customers to help pay for the upkeep and expansion of the power grid everyone uses, eases the costs residential customers bear for their power needs. Savings around our largest grid upgrade in company history: Superpower Mississippi invests 50% more in reliability to reach a 50% reduction in outages, all at 0% cost to customers. We’re able to add this $300 million for grid improvements at no additional cost to Entergy Mississippi customers because of new revenues from Amazon and other large industrial customers’ investments in the state. And these additional funds are helping us target a significant goal for the first time: cutting power outages in half within five years. Modernizing our generation fleet: Modern technologies equal better efficiency, and our new, modern power generation sources help us and our customers meet clean energy goals. Newer plants are more fuel-efficient, which lowers fuel charges on customer bills for the long term. Managing fuel costs: We’re constantly trying to buy fuel at the lowest price available. Fuel costs are never marked up, so customers pay exactly what we pay. Offering bill support: Our Bill Toolki provides customers with resources and available assistance options to help them more easily manage their energy bill. Whether you have questions about your bill, need more time to pay or are looking for assistance, our one-stop shop connects you to available programs and services. You can find simple ways to lower your electricity usage, too. Putting money back in your pockets: Every tax season, Entergy has helped low-income customers across our service area receive $55 million in federal tax refunds in a given year. We help customers save additional dollars by connecting them to other federal funding resources including LIHEAP and Single Stop, and we offer The Power to Care – our long-held bill assistance program for qualifying customers. Entergy is invested in you in more ways than one. Approximately 2,500 of our employees in Mississippi are your neighbors, your friends, your family. This is the place we happily call home just like you. As inflation rises and every day expenses continue to become more and more costly, we remain focused on the impact of our customers’ bills.
