Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Entergy Texas C&I pricing scales by size and voltage, from SGS through LIPS, with demand charges ($/kW) the dominant driver for larger schedules. Time-of-day variants (GS-TOD, LGS-TOD, LIPS-TOD) reward off-peak consumption. Numerous PUCT-approved riders adjust the base charges over time, including the Fixed Fuel Factor (FF), Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF), Transmission Cost Recovery Factor (TCRF), Generation Cost Recovery Rider (GCRR), EECRF, and storm/system-restoration riders. Industrial customers can layer LIPS options such as Interruptible Service (IS) for bill relief.

Entergy Texas Data Access FAQ
Can my business get interval data from Entergy Texas?▾
Yes. C&I customers can request DataLink, which provides 30-minute interval load data, usage curves, and reports in the Texas jurisdiction. Residential customers see 15-minute data in myEntergy/myAdvisor. There is no public API; data comes from DataLink exports.
Does Entergy Texas use Smart Meter Texas or ERCOT retail choice?▾
No. Entergy Texas's Southeast Texas territory is outside ERCOT and in the MISO region, with no retail electric choice. Smart Meter Texas (SMT) and Competitive Service Providers do not apply here, despite references in some older sources.
How are Entergy Texas C&I rates structured?▾
Bills combine a customer charge, energy charge ($/kWh), and demand charge ($/kW for larger schedules), across size/voltage-tiered schedules (SGS, GS, LGS, LIPS, plus TOD variants), modified by PUCT riders (FF, DCRF, TCRF, GCRR, EECRF). Exact per-unit figures are in the tariff at entergytexas.com/business/tariffs.
Does Entergy Texas support EDI for invoices?▾
Yes. Entergy Texas has operated an ANSI X12 EDI program since 1997 for C&I and governmental accounts, primarily for the 810 invoice (with 820 payments and other sets). Enroll via the Entergy Business Center at 800-766-1648.
When were Entergy Texas's base rates last set?▾
Current base rates derive from the 2022 Bright Future base rate case (PUCT Docket 53719), with a settlement approved in 2023 recovering ~$2.3B of infrastructure investment and preserving interim rates effective June 2023. Riders adjust charges between cases.
