PUCT votes to move Entergy Texas’ Bright Future rate proposal forward

THE WOODLANDS, TX -- The Public Utility Commission of Texas voted to approve Entergy Texas’ settlement agreement for its base rate case filed in July 2022. This agreement recognizes approximately $2.3 billion in investments already made to modernize infrastructure and improve service reliability to customers.

“We thank the Commission for its hard work and for positioning Entergy Texas to better serve our customers and their growing energy needs,” said Eliecer Viamontes, president and CEO of Entergy Texas. “The investments included in this rate case will also mitigate future severe storm damage and restoration costs and support the significant growth in Southeast Texas.”

The terms included in the 2022 base rate case settlement agreement allow Entergy Texas to continue making the capital investments required to provide safe, reliable and affordable electric service to our customers. The decision also preserves the rates that took effect on an interim basis in June of 2023.

Entergy Texas plans to invest over $2.5 billion by the end of 2024 to replace aging generation and increase resiliency and capacity for Southeast Texas.
