LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Customers of an Arkansas energy company will see their electric bills for the summer increase by about 1.2 percent.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (https://bit.ly/1UYowQ4 ) reports that with the increase beginning on Friday, an Entergy Arkansas customer who had a $100 bill a year ago will see a bill for $101.20 if the same amount of electricity is used.
The change includes a 7 percent decrease in rates because of the company’s yearly “fuel and purchased power cost” adjustment combined with an 8.2 percent rate increase recently approved by the Arkansas Public Service Commission.
The summer rates of Arkansas’ other investor-owned electric utilities - Southwestern Electric Power Co., Oklahoma Gas and Electric, and Empire District Electric Co. - will reduce.
Entergy Arkansas has about 705,000 customers.
