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

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.

Is Green Power Available For Purchase In Louisiana?

In April 2007, Entergy Gulf States Louisiana implemented a voluntary Green Power pilot program called GEAUX GREEN through the direction of the Louisiana Public Service Commission. As a participant in GEAUX GREEN, you have the option, for a minimal monthly fee, to have a specific portion of your bill devoted to the purchase of power generated from renewable biomass resources located in Louisiana. Entergy Gulf States Louisiana does not profit from this premium on Green Power, but when you choose to buy Green Power, you support this environmentally friendly process and do something good for yourself and for Louisiana’s future.

Why Does Green Power Cost More?

The current technology used for small scale renewable energy is generally more expensive than traditional sources of energy. As technology advances and more renewable resources become available, it is likely that Green Power costs will be more in line with non-renewable resources.

Why Is Entergy Offering Green Power?

Entergy Gulf States is working closely with the Louisiana Public Service Commission to gauge consumer interest in purchasing renewable power. This pilot program will also help stimulate the development of renewable energy resources in Louisiana and explore the capability of suppliers in the state to meet this new demand.

Where Is This Green Power Being Produced?

All power generated for this program is being produced in Louisiana using biomass fuels from agricultural byproducts grown in Louisiana. The use of biomass fuels helps to strengthen Louisiana's economy by opening new markets to Louisiana farmers and agricultural businesses for materials that might otherwise go unused.

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 make sense for you and for Louisiana’s future.
