Transcription notes recorded when this tariff was encoded, including anything deliberately left out.
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.
A DECLINING WINTER BLOCK. November through April, kWh above 1,000 bill at 6.677c instead of 8.975c - the rate goes DOWN with usage, and only in winter. Summer has no tier at all. Entergy Arkansas and Entergy New Orleans do the same thing at different thresholds.
TEXAS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THE FIVE WITH NO PERCENTAGE RIDERS. Every schedule on the bill is a flat cents-per-kWh adder. Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and New Orleans all apply percentage adjustments to a base subtotal, and each defines that base differently.
FOUR SCHEDULES LOOK APPLICABLE AND ARE NOT, and together they would have put this rate 1.7c/kWh low: Rider BR-RBSR (+0.6641c), the GCRR relate-back (+0.189c), Schedule SRC (-0.697c) and Rider DPBF (-1.86c). All four are real, current and correctly transcribed.
SCHEDULE SRC IS ZERO, NOT ABSENT. The 2009 Hurricane Ike securitization bonds finished amortising in August 2022 and the last posted SRC Attachment A is a refund rather than a charge. Schedule SCO remains on file at 0.00000/kWh and says it stays in effect 'until Rate Schedule SRC is terminated', so SRC appears to be zero-rated rather than formally terminated. Encoded as zero either way - but a reader assuming a -0.697c credit would be wrong by $7 a month.
RIDER DPBF IS NOT A GENERAL RESIDENTIAL CREDIT. It is a low-income assistance credit for customers ENROLLED in the Public Benefit Fund Program - Lone Star Card holders or households at or below 125% of the federal poverty guideline - and runs only from the first May billing cycle to the last September one. At -1.86c/kWh it is large, which is exactly why applying it to everyone would be a significant error.
The fixed fuel factor encoded is the SECONDARY voltage figure (0.0317506), which is what residential service takes. The tariff also publishes primary, 69/138 kV and 230 kV variants, all lower.
EXCLUDED: state, city and local taxes, and the twenty-four city-specific Incremental Franchise Fee Recovery Riders - Beaumont, Conroe, Port Arthur and so on - which depend on the customer's municipality.
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.
