Anyone know the going rate for Electricity with Entergy?

Our use is on par or lower than last year, yet our bills have all been much higher. When I call they have no explanation.

There was a thread here one night this week complaining about Entergy bills in Louisiana…mine here in Mississippi was about normal, but some folks there had some ungodly power bills.

There are 4 components to your Entergy Bill...Energy Charge, Fuel Adjustment, Storm Restoration/Misc, and KwH used.

The Energy Charge per KwH remains pretty static...about $.083 per KwH
The Fuel Adjustment per KwH varies month-to-month, and was $.061 last month.
The Storm Restoration charge had been running about $.004 per KwH until June when it tripled to $.01345.
Those three components total $.158/KwH (almost 16 cents per KwH), with the most volatile of the three being the Fuel Adjustment charge. That single item, which nearly doubled since May (had been running about $.035/Kwh and is now over $.06/KwH) rivals the Energy Charge ($.083/KwH) as the most expensive component of the monthly Entergy bill. While it is a monthly adjustment, don't look for any real relief until natural gas prices begin to come down.
In summary, your only salvation at the moment is the opportunity to lower your kilowatt consumption...but that is easier said than done. Raise your thermostat as high as you can tolerate, turn off every light you're not using, and try to be more efficient with use of the clothes dryer, dishwasher, and oven (any appliance that uses heat, if you're all electric). Other than that, there isn't a whole lot you can do.

My Entergy bill was $1273 and some change. Thanks Biden. fricking a-hole.

This. I'm on levelized billing, and mine has been staying around $180 for the past three months.
I'm waiting for that levelized to level out.

I wish Entergy would line item that rate.

I understand if that rate changes each month. I hate how they just figure your total as the energy charge and just throw it on the bill while line itemizing other charges like fuel adjustments and Rider charges.

At least in Texas, where you pick your plans you know your base rate.

Just like if you use not electricity, they will still charge you minimum for having a meter installed.
