I saw someone complaining on Facebook about their bill. It was over $700. They then posted a picture of the bill. They used over 5,000 kwh!!
How to you even use that much? I have a 2 store house with 2 A/Cs that ran all the time and we used about 2200 kwh.
i mean i was at 5878 last month. i have a much bigger house than you, a pool, kids/mother in law home all day and i dont like it hot like you.

At what point if you are blessed to have a whole home generator, you shut of electric power to your home and run on the generator for a few days to cut down on your Entergy electrical usage, while increasing your natural gas usage if those rates haven’t increased substantially.
Entergy generates a substantial amount of their electricity from natural gas as does Cleco. Natural gas cost has tripled over the last year which is why rates have increased dramatically. I have a 20KW NG powered whole house generator.Last summer it cost around $40/day to run my house on the generator. Today it would be over $100 bucks a day.

To add to this, you should be also allowed to tie the genny into the grid and sell excess power the generator is generating to sell back to Entergy like you can with solar panels.
I don't think there's anything stopping you from doing this other than the economics. Setup a net metering agreement, get an approved interconnection and start rolling.
ETA you would need a device to shutdown if the grid went down and isolate for personal consumption only, but an ATS should suffice.

I should be up for a raise this month so hopefully that helps some.
Entergy knows this and is about to get every penny
