Residential energy price

Bill explanation

Fuel or purchased power charge	Electric or energy charge	Storm related charges
This is the cost of fuel we use to generate electricity and the cost of electricity we sometimes purchase from other companies. This charge may go up and down as the cost of fuel changes. Entergy makes no profit on this and the charge is passed through to customers dollar-for-dollar as allowed by regulators.	This is the cost to run equipment and facilities to deliver electricity to your home.	These charges help us rebuild the infrastructure and equipment damaged by a big storm as soon as possible.

Franchise fees	Riders	Taxes
This is the fee payment that your local government collects from Entergy to operate in your area.	These are short term expenses regulators allow Entergy to recover.	Payments to state or local governments required to run a facility in your area.

Your rate schedule

All residential customers take service from Entergy under a rate schedule, which is determined based on your geographic location. Your rate schedule is listed in the section of your bill with the heading “Meter reading.” For example, your bill may show “Rate: LA_RS,” which means that your service is provided under rate schedule RS-L. Alternatively, your bill may show “Rate: GS_RS,” which means that your service is provided under rate schedule RS-G. 

Rate and rider schedules

A rate schedule describes the class of service, applicability, territory, per unit charges and special conditions of service applicable to service under the schedule. A rider schedule modifies one or more provisions of a rate schedule or schedules. Review the rate listed in the “Meter reading” section of your bill and click the link that corresponds to your bill:
