Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
Entergy Louisiana C&I bills are driven by three structural components: a fixed customer charge, demand charges (per kW) that grow in importance for larger schedules, and energy charges (per kWh), all layered with a fuel adjustment clause and the annually updated Formula Rate Plan rider. Because rates are LPSC-tariffed and FRP-adjusted each year, current cents-per-kWh values should be read from the official tariff book rather than assumed.
Entergy Louisiana, LLC Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| Small General Service (SGS) | Small commercial; energy-charge dominated, minimal demand component |
| Large General Service (LGS) | Larger commercial / small industrial; demand + energy charges |
| Large Industrial Power Service | Large industrial; demand-dominated, lower per-kWh energy |
Entergy Louisiana, LLC Rate Features & TOU Details
- Fixed customer charge plus volumetric energy charge
- Demand (kW) charges scale with schedule size
- Fuel Adjustment Clause passes fuel/purchased-power cost through
- Formula Rate Plan (FRP) adjusts base rates annually to a target ROE
- Voltage-level and contract-demand options for large industrial loads
- Geaux Green voluntary renewable subscription available

Entergy Louisiana, LLC Data Access FAQ
Can my business get 15-minute interval electric data from Entergy Louisiana?▾
Yes. Entergy's AMI smart meters record 15-minute interval data. Commercial and industrial customers request the DataLink platform through the Entergy Business Center (1-800-766-1648) to view 15-minute usage curves and export raw interval files (up to ~36 months of history). Residential customers see the same granularity in myAdvisor, and Green Button Connect can deliver it via API.
Does Entergy Louisiana support Green Button and a data-sharing API?▾
Yes. Entergy offers Green Button Download My Data (manual ESPI XML export) and Green Button Connect My Data, an OAuth 2.0 ESPI REST API for authorized third parties. Vendors register through the myEntergy Advisor Green Button portal. Nectar also provides API access to this utility's billing and interval data — see docs.nectarclimate.com.
How does a C&I customer automate invoice processing?▾
Through EDI. Entergy Louisiana has offered ANSI X12 4010 EDI 810 outbound invoices since 1997, delivered over SFTP. Enroll through the Entergy Business Center, complete the Trading Partner Profile, map segments using the EDI 4010 Implementation Guide, run parallel tests, then go live.
What rate schedule will my commercial or industrial site be on?▾
Most small commercial accounts take Small General Service (SGS); larger commercial and small-to-mid industrial loads take Large General Service (LGS) with demand (kW) charges; and large industrial plants take Large Industrial Power Service, typically at primary or transmission voltage with demand-dominated, often contract-based pricing. Exact cents-per-kWh and per-kW values are set in the LPSC-filed tariff and adjusted annually via the Formula Rate Plan.
Can I shop for a competitive electricity supplier in Louisiana?▾
No. Louisiana is a regulated, vertically integrated market with no retail electric choice. Entergy Louisiana customers take service under LPSC-approved tariffs. Businesses wanting renewable energy can use the Geaux Green C&I subscription within the regulated utility.
How often do Entergy Louisiana rates change?▾
Base rates adjust annually under the LPSC-approved Formula Rate Plan (extended for three years in August 2024, targeting a 10.0% ROE), with separate, more frequent fuel-adjustment and rider changes. The FRP extension phases in residential increases (about $0.57/month in 2025, $2.64 in 2026) toward roughly $7.19/month by 2029.
