Entergy LA vs. Demco

I’m looking at potentially moving into a DEMCO area soon. I’ve only ever had Entergy, so I’m curious what the experience is like. For those who have switched from Entergy to DEMCO: how do they compare when it comes to getting the power back on after a big storm? Also, have you noticed much of a difference in your monthly bills?
For as much grief as Entergy gets around here, and most of it is deserved, for me at least, they have been very communicative and quick when restoring power.

Lived in both.
No difference. You get what you get
Fewer people live woth Demco service so you hear less bitching.

Mainly just depends on the line infrastructure feeding you. DEMCO has more rural, so more trees.... which is worse during a storm.

I've had both. Currently have Demco and I like them. The reliability has been fine, and it seems to be cheaper than Entergy.

I’ve lived under Entergy, Demco, and Cleco
Entergy is bottom of the barrel as far as I’m concerned

We had Entergy and Claiborne Electric Co-op at my place in North LA. Entergy was more than 3x as expensive as Claiborne for the same amount of power consumption.

Takes forever to get power back after a hurricane if you have Dumco.

Demco's response times are some of the worst in the region. I made the switch from an Entergy residence to Demco residence last year and really have not noticed a major change other than Demco's UI an App are years behind what Entergy has (I also still have the Entergy residence). It's also harder to get a hold of someone at Demco.
FWIW - Here are my comparisons to Entergy and Demco bills for similar usages:
Demco 1,241 kWh Nov 2025

FF-CR Rider: -$0.21
Formula Rate Plan: $23.31
SLR Rider 2: $2.69
Roundup: $0.43
Total: $173
For Entergy 1,112 kWh Nov 2025
Customer Charge: $10
Energy Charge: $94.75
Storm Restoration Offset: -$2.42
Fuel Adjustment: 1112 kWh @ $0.0258 = $28.69
Federal Mandated EAC Rider: $0.02
Total: $131.04

I love DEMCO but I was out for 14 days after Ida.
