How much does Entergy charge per kWh in 2026?

Entergy’s estimated effective residential rate is about 14.90 cents per kWh as of June 2026. A typical home using 1,000 kWh a month pays roughly $159, including the about $10 monthly customer charge. Commercial service runs about 11.60c/kWh. This is a representative average; your exact rate depends on the tariff, season, and fuel and rider charges on Entergy’s official rate schedule.

2026 published rate: Entergy runs four separate rate-regulated utilities, so the Entergy rate most people search for splits by state, and all four sit at or below the US average. In May 2026 the EIA put the average residential price at about 14.15 cents per kWh in Louisiana, 14.36 cents in Arkansas, 16.16 cents in Mississippi, and 16.44 cents in Texas, against a US average of 18.44 cents; the roughly 14.9 cents shown above is a customer-weighted blend across the four states, and Louisiana and Arkansas remain among the cheapest electricity markets in the country. Each Entergy company files rates separately. Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans adjust base rates every year through a Formula Rate Plan rather than a traditional rate case, and Entergy Louisiana's latest FRP filing would raise a typical 1,000 kWh residential bill about 5.6 percent, roughly $6.75 a month, if approved. In Arkansas, Entergy Arkansas filed a base-rate review with the Arkansas Public Service Commission on 27 February 2026 (Docket No. 26-001-U), asking for new rates from the first billing cycle of January 2027; press reporting of the filing puts the net impact on a typical 1,000 kWh residential customer at roughly $4 to $6 a month once riders and a federal nuclear production tax credit are counted, though that figure is contested and not yet decided. Entergy's standard residential plans use seasonal energy charges (higher in summer) plus a monthly customer charge of about $10, and monthly fuel and rider adjustments move the effective rate over time.

Entergy on Form EIA-861: 2024 Reported Sales, Customers and Realised Prices

EIA's 2024 Form 861 census lists 5 operating companies behind Entergy (Entergy Louisiana LLC, utility 11241; Entergy Arkansas LLC, utility 814; Entergy Texas Inc., utility 55937; Entergy Mississippi LLC, utility 12685; Entergy New Orleans, LLC, utility 13478), together serving 2,596,043 residential accounts (bundled plus delivery-only) in LA, AR, TX, MS, TN across 201 counties. Weighted across those companies, the 2024 average realised residential price for bundled service was 12.39 cents per kWh (total residential revenue divided by total residential sales). The spread runs from 11.05c (Entergy Louisiana LLC, Louisiana) to 13.66c (Entergy Texas Inc., Texas). These are annual averages of what customers actually paid, including fuel and rider charges, so they will not match the tariff rate on a current bill; the estimated effective rate above is the site's forward-looking figure.

Data year 2024, EIA-861 final released 3 December 2025. Res. accounts = residential accounts served, bundled plus delivery-only where the company has delivery-only rows; the residential, commercial and industrial prices are the bundled figures (the price basis). Rank is by residential accounts served among the state's utilities with bundled or delivery service; share is the company's share of the state's residential sales in MWh, not of its customers. Delivery-only rows show the wires charge only. The 2025 early-release column is preliminary and unvalidated by EIA.

What is the current Entergy rate per kWh?+
Entergy's estimated effective residential rate is about 14.90 cents per kWh as of June 2026. This is a representative average; your exact rate depends on the tariff, season, and fuel/rider charges shown on the utility's official rate schedule (linked below). The estimated commercial rate is 11.60c/kWh, and the monthly fixed customer charge is roughly $10 regardless of usage.
What rate structure does Entergy use?+
Entergy uses a seasonal rate structure. Seasonal rates vary between summer and winter billing periods, reflecting demand patterns in the service area.
How do I calculate my Entergy bill from the rate per kWh?+
Multiply your monthly kilowatt-hours by the per-kWh rate, then add the fixed customer charge. Using Entergy's estimated effective residential rate of 14.90 cents per kWh and its roughly $10 monthly fixed charge, a home using 750 kWh a month works out to about (750 x $0.1490) + $10 = $121.75 a month. The table above shows the same math across usage levels from 250 to 1,500 kWh. This is a representative estimate; your exact rate depends on the tariff, season, and fuel and rider charges on the official schedule linked above.
How do I find my Entergy rate on my bill?+
Your electricity bill shows the total kWh consumed and the charges applied. Look for the 'energy charge' or 'supply charge' line item - this is the per-kWh rate times your usage. Delivery charges (transmission and distribution) are listed separately and represent a significant portion of your total rate. The fixed customer charge appears as a flat line item. Your effective combined rate (all charges / total kWh) may differ from the tariff rate due to the fixed charge amortization.
What recent rate changes has Entergy made?+
Entergy's four utilities file rates separately. Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans adjust base rates each year through a Formula Rate Plan rather than a traditional rate case; Entergy Louisiana's latest FRP filing would raise a typical 1,000 kWh residential bill about 5.6 percent (around $6.75 a month) if approved. In Arkansas, Entergy Arkansas filed a base-rate review with the Arkansas Public Service Commission on 27 February 2026 (Docket No. 26-001-U), seeking new rates from the first billing cycle of January 2027. These figures are proposed, not final; consult the tariff schedules linked above for current approved pricing.
