I didn't even know there were areas where you had options for your electricity services.

Entergy isn't the only electricity company that works as a monopoly. Any where you live that only has one electricity provider.. That electricity provide is working as a monopoly.

Typically true for all areas. It is a government regulated monopoly. One exception is Texas where one company manages the distribution network, but your Power Company can be many different choices and they have several different rates and programs for different rates.

Now you could get stuck with this option where you pay the spot rate for electricity which was a one point 6.88 a kWH. That price can fluctuate down to almost free. But Jesus, 6.88 a KWH is an arse raping.

We all wish that power companies would deny service to you specifically
