Entergy Louisiana urges customers to stay away from downed power lines and to report them, while also cautioning against improper use of space heaters and portable generators. Customers experiencing outages can report them to Entergy Louisiana and Demco.
Entergy Louisiana has partnered with local agencies to provide $1 million in bill payment assistance to qualifying residential customers who have been affected by higher-than-expected utility bills due to the historic heat of the summer. Eligible customers can apply for a one-time $200 credit on their utility bill through their local United Way website. The assistance is available on a first come, first served basis, and customers must meet certain income requirements. Additionally, a portion of the funds will be allocated to Entergy's The Power to Care program, which supports older adults and customers with disabilities.
