JACKSON, Miss., August 3, 2026 /3BL/ – Although the heat of summer can increase electricity use and energy costs, Entergy Mississippi is committed to helping customers stay cool and save money throughout the hotter months with bill management tools and resources. The company’s online Bill Toolkit connects customers to energy efficiency tips and resources, as well as information about bill management and financial assistance options.
“At Entergy, we’re here to support our customers and offer tips to help them stay cool and save money this summer,” said Robbie Kemp, Entergy Mississippi vice president, customer service. “Our online Bill Toolkit provides easy access bill management tools, energy efficiency resources and assistance options to help our customers take control of their energy use and costs.”
Managing bills through payment options
Entergy offers several flexible payment options so customers can choose when, where and how they receive their bills.
- Pick-A-Date allows customers to pay their bills when it works best for them.
- Level Billing allows customers to “level out” seasonal energy use fluctuations, making their bills more consistent every month.
- PaperFREE billing allows customers to get their bills emailed as soon as they post and instant access to two years of billing history.
- AutoPay allows customers to avoid late fees, writing checks and paying for postage by having bills automatically deduct from their bank accounts.
Entergy encourages customers who may need additional payment options to reach out. To see if customers automatically qualify for deferred payment arrangements or payment extensions, they can visit our mobile app or myEntergy.
Finding financial assistance
For customers needing assistance to pay their bills, Entergy Mississippi is here to help. Throughout this summer, the company is implementing a series of measures through its “Beat the Heat” program focused on helping our low-income customers and communities stay cool and pay their bills. The program provides bill payment assistance and support from local community partners, including fan distribution events, to help hundreds of residential customers across the state.
In addition, Entergy partners with local and state organizations to connect qualifying customers with financial assistance, including:
- The Power to Care program provides emergency bill payment assistance to older adults and customers with disabilities.
- Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program or LIHEAP provides financial assistance for energy bills and other energy-related expenses.
- Single Stop makes it easy for customers to quickly and confidentially check their eligibility for federal, state and local financial assistance.
Tracking energy use through myAdvisor
Customers can set electric usage alerts and monitor how much energy they use each day through bill management tools like myAdvisor which is available through their myEntergy account online. Tracking usage over time can help customers identify trends that contribute to higher usage and budget their monthly expenses. With the myAdvisor dashboard, customers have access to not only usage and cost details, but also bill history and projections, analyzer tools and more. On the Entergy mobile app, this information can be found by clicking the “usage” tab.

As part of its commitment to expanding opportunity and empowering future generations, AEG‘s Dignity Health Sports Park welcomed 48 students from Girls Inc. Los Angeles for a career exploration experience designed to introduce young women to professional opportunities across the sports and entertainment industry.
Representing Bethune Middle School, Marina del Rey Middle School, Bret Harte Preparatory Middle School, and Venice High School, students ages 12 to 18 participated in a candid discussion with female leaders from Dignity Health Sports Park and the LA Galaxy.

- Subaru remains the largest corporate supporter of AdoptAClassroom.org through six years of partnership
- 93% of teachers have students whose families cannot afford school supplies, leading teachers to spend an average of $895 out-of-pocket each year
- More than 630 Subaru retailers nationwide will provide teachers with funding to purchase essential classroom supplies
CAMDEN, N.J., August 3, 2026 /3BL/ – Subaru of America, Inc. (SOA) today announced that in its sixth year as the largest corporate supporter of AdoptAClassroom.org®, the Subaru Loves Learning® initiative will have supported more than 1 million students nationwide. Together with more than 630 retailers, Subaru will provide teachers with funding to purchase essential classroom supplies and high-quality resources that support student success.
As the new school year approaches, affording basic classroom essentials remains a significant economic barrier for many families and educators alike. According to AdoptAClassroom.org, 93% of teachers have students whose families cannot afford school supplies, often prompting those educators to fill the gap themselves. The average teacher in the U.S. spends $895 of their own money each year on classroom materials, a figure that has risen nearly 50% since 2015. Through its commitment to being More Than a Car Company®, Subaru is helping ease that burden by supporting classrooms nationwide and ensuring students and educators have the resources they need for a successful start to the school year.
Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: “Students and teachers in high-needs schools deserve access to the classroom resources they need to succeed, and our retailers continue to go above and beyond on their behalf in support of Subaru Loves Learning. As part of our efforts to deliver on the Subaru Love Promise®, we are honored to have reached an incredible milestone of more than 1 million students over six years of partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, helping classrooms in the communities we serve.”
Many participating retailers will also donate curated school supply kits filled with local teachers’ most-requested materials, and some will go a step further by providing flexible funding for special school and classroom projects. Additionally, Subaru Gear will donate $1 to AdoptAClassroom.org for every “Education” Badge of Ownership ordered, up to $2,000 total**, further reinforcing the automaker’s mission to ensure that students and educators have what they need to start the school year strong.
Ryan Jordan, Chief Executive Officer of AdoptAClassroom.org: “With the support of Subaru and its dedicated network of retailers, this initiative enables us to reach more students every year. As we celebrate our sixth year of partnership, we’re proud to continue funding the essential classroom resources that too many schools across the country still lack. This enduring collaboration demonstrates the lasting impact that can be made when we come together to invest in the next generation.”
Continuing its commitment to the Camden community, Subaru will adopt every pre-kindergarten classroom in eight schools within the Camden City School District (CCSD) as part of the 2026 program, supporting nearly 75 teachers. In addition to funding for essential classroom supplies, Subaru employees will volunteer their time to help these and other Camden teachers across the district prepare their classrooms to welcome students back for the new school year.
