THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Lower costs for the fuel Entergy Texas, Inc. uses to generate electricity will translate into lower bills for customers this fall and winter.

Customers will see a decrease in the fuel portion of their bill starting in September due to lower fuel costs. Entergy Texas is passing those fuel savings directly on to customers.

The average customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hour residential bill should see a decrease of more than $3.50 per month. The savings to customers is tied to lower fuel costs.

“Lower fuel cost to generate electricity, translates into lower costs for customers,” said Stuart Barrett, vice president of customer service for Entergy Texas, Inc. “This is especially important for our customers after the hot summer we are experiencing.”

Electric utilities in Texas, including Entergy Texas are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT). Monthly bills are largely made up of base charges plus fuel charges and the fuel portion is strictly passed through to customers.

The PUCT rules require the fixed fuel charge on customer’s bills to be changed bi-annually each September and March. This amount will remain the same until March 2020.
