The credit is one-time only, and you'll need to apply for it.
Beginning Sept. 27, Entergy customers in Texas will be eligible to receive a one-time $150 credit off their energy bills as part of a $1.3 million plan to distribute relief from rising energy prices statewide.
Applications will be processed beginning at 9 a.m. through the United Way of Greater Houston website, according to a press release from Entergy. According to the United Way website, applications will close after all slots have been filled.
Other actions the energy company is taking include "expediting more than $2.9 million" in security deposits for over 13,000 customers, according to the press release. According to Entergy's website, the company serves over 486,000 customers across 27 Texas counties. Rising populations and natural gas demand led to increased energy bills across Texas this summer, according to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Montgomery County-the largest county by population in Entergy's service area-was one of the 10 fastest-growing counties in the nation, according to the 2020 U.S. Census.
