Mississippi is showing what responsible energy growth can deliver.

Data center revenues helped prevent a $4.87 monthly bill increase for EntergyMississippi customers while supporting new investments in reliability and generation.

With more than $2 billion in projected customer savings ahead, this is what it looks like when economic growth strengthens the grid and delivers real benefits to families and businesses.

New revenues from Mississippi data centers, like Amazon’s, are a primary reason why Entergy Mississippi customers won’t see their rates increase this summer.
