Deposit requirements

Entergy customers start using electricity before paying for it, therefore customers requesting new service may be required to make a security deposit.


Bill payment assistance

When your income won’t stretch any further, help is available. See below for programs available to assist with your energy costs.

The Power to Care

No one should have to choose between food, medicine or electricity. Sadly, many of our low-income customers, including older adults and people with disabilities, face these choices every day.

Through Entergy's The Power to Care program, we partner with local nonprofit agencies to provide emergency bill payment assistance to our customers who are 60 years of age or older or have disabilities – with an annual household income at or below 150% of the federal poverty level. To check your household income eligibility, visit here.
