Green Power for Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana Customers - FOR AS LITTLE AS $2.25 per month

Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana now offer electricity generated from environmentally-friendly renewable energy producers in the state. Power from these green providers – offered in blocks – goes into the electric system as part of the total power mix, which is shared by Entergy Louisiana and Entergy Gulf States Louisiana customers.

Neither Entergy Louisiana nor Entergy Gulf States Louisiana benefits financially from your green power purchase. The blocks you purchase go directly to the Geaux Green program. Geaux Green was put in place by the Louisiana Public Service Commission in 2007 to buy green power from local Louisiana producers, foster the development of a green power industry in the state and increase customer awareness of the renewable energy option.

You can be part of an effort with environmental benefits today and help build a future where affordable renewable energy can play an important role in the energy mix in our state.

What Is Green Power?

Green power is a popular name for electricity generated from renewable energy sources. It is purchased voluntarily by consumers and businesses who want to do their part to reduce greenhouse gases and dependence on fossil fuels.

What Are Renewable Energy Sources?

Biomass, hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal are all considered renewable, earth-friendly, green power sources.

What Is The Benefit Of Using Green Power?

The more green power we use, the less fossil fuels we need to generate electricity. green power preserves limited resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions believed to contribute to global climate change.

Why Does Green Power Cost More?

The current technology used for small scale renewable energy is generally more expensive than conventional generation. The Geaux Green program is designed to create a way for renewable electricity providers in Louisiana to sell electricity to environmentally-conscious customers. As technology advances and more renewable resources become available in the state, it is likely that green power costs will be more in line with traditional generation.

For as little as $2.25 per month, you can choose to participate in GEAUX GREEN, Louisiana’s first green power program.

For $2.25 per month you can ensure that 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity you use every month will be generated using Louisiana agricultural byproducts.

And you can purchase more green power if you like.

• $4.50 per month for 200 kWh
• $6.75 per month for 300 kWh
• $9.00 per month for 400 kWh

For every 100 kWh of green power, simply add $2.25 to your total participation.

Reducing dependence on foreign oil, helping Louisiana’s farmers expand their income base and protecting our environment by using renewable resources makes sense for you and for Louisiana’s future.
