Some Entergy customers could see increase in bills because of new bulbs used in street lights
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Some Entergy customers in the Baton Rouge area received a letter from the company, informing them about a possible “small increase” in their bills.
The increase has to do with the light bulbs that are used in street lights.
Officials said that when the old light bulbs burn out, they may need to be replaced by more expensive LED lights. That’s because the old bulbs are apparently no longer being manufactured.
Entergy officials said that part of the cost of operating and maintaining street lights appears on the monthly bills of customers.
More specific details about how much more customers could pay each month were not immediately available.
Anyone with questions about their Entergy bill can contact a customer service representative by calling the number 1-800-ENTERGY.
