Help for Paying Your Electric Bills
When your income won’t stretch any further, there’s help. Programs are
available for both emergency bill payment assistance and long-term relief.
The Power to Care
Project CARE has now become The Power to Care. Although we have a new name,
our purpose remains the same – helping neighbors in need. Your donation to The
Power to Care will help low-income, elderly or disabled customers pay their
energy bills in times of financial distress.
Your donation will be matched dollar for dollar by the shareholders of Entergy
Corporation up to $500,000.
Just click
here to donate. It’s a small thing you can do to make a big difference in
someone’s life. To find a local community action agency where you can apply

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program assists low-income households,
particularly those with the lowest incomes and disproportionately highest
energy costs to meet their home energy costs by making payments directly to
energy suppliers.
Both homeowner and renter households are eligible
to receive LIHEAP assistance. The household's annual income must be at or
below 150% of federal poverty level. Energy costs must also be documented.
