VERIFIED AGAINST ENTERGY'S OWN ITEMISED SAMPLE BILL. Entergy publishes a 1,000 kWh sample for each operating company listing every schedule with its rate and a total, linked from the company's /residential/price page. These figures reconstruct it to the cent, and the build script refuses to write this file if they stop doing so.
PUBLISHED RIDER IS NOT THE SAME AS RIDER ON THE BILL. An Entergy tariff index lists dozens of schedules; roughly a dozen reach a residential bill. The rest are other classes, other programmes, enrolment-only credits, or dormant filings left on file at zero. Nothing in the index distinguishes them, which is why the sample bill is the source of truth for WHICH schedules apply and the tariff sheets only for their values.
THE FORMULA RATE PLAN NEARLY DOUBLES THE BASE RATES, and its value is not in the tariff. Rider FRP is filed as a procedure document with $XXX,XXX placeholders where the numbers would be. The billed figure - 87.9962% of the base subtotal - appears only on the sample bill. This blocked Louisiana for months and is the reason the sample bills are now treated as tariff sources rather than illustrations.
THE LOWEST FILED ENERGY CHARGE IN THE CATALOGUE, AND IT MEANS NOTHING. Schedule RS reads 3.762c/kWh - about a third of Michigan's and a fifth of Massachusetts's. After the eleven percentage riders it bills at 11.304c/kWh, which is unremarkable. Ranking utilities on filed energy charges would put Louisiana first by a wide margin and be wrong.
FIVE SEPARATE HURRICANES ARE ON THIS BILL. Storm Cost Offset riders I through V cover 2005, 2008, 2012, 2020 and 2021, and each is a small credit; the Financed Storm Cost riders III, IV and V are the matching charges, at 0%, 18.3937% and 9.5262%. The offsets and the charges are separate filings that do NOT net - taking either side alone would move a bill by about $14.
THE AMS CHARGE IS INSIDE THE PERCENTAGE BASE. The advanced metering charge is $1.99 as filed and is uplifted with the customer charge and the energy charge, so it contributes about $4.44 to a bill. It steps down annually - $2.22 in 2019, $1.99 in 2026 - so it is a scheduled change rather than a volatile one. Customers who opt out of AMS pay a different fee instead, which is not encoded.
THE FUEL ADJUSTMENT IS THE BIGGEST SINGLE PER-KWH TERM at 2.725c, and it moves monthly. Encoded here for August 2026.
EXCLUDED: Louisiana state, city and local taxes. Also excluded: the Rider to Schedule RS for Low Income Senior Citizens, which is an enrolment-only discount and not part of a general residential rate.
Flat: one rate for every kWh in every month. No tiers, no seasons.
Entergy Louisiana absorbed Entergy Gulf States Louisiana in 2015; the tariff page is still filed under the EGSL path and some rider filenames still carry the egsl prefix.
Entergy's operating companies are vertically integrated and state-regulated (New Orleans by the City Council), so a bundled residential rate exists here. That is not true of Oncor and CenterPoint elsewhere in Texas, which are wires-only and sell no energy.
Think a figure here is wrong?
