Help for Paying Your Electric Bills
When your income won’t stretch any further, there’s help. Programs are
available for both emergency bill payment assistance and long-term relief.
The Power to Care
Entergy, its employees and its customers regularly contribute to The Power to
Care, a special fund that provides emergency utility assistance for elderly
and disabled customers. Inquiries on applying for The Power to Care should be
directed to the New Orleans Council on Aging (NOCOA). To donate to the Power

LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) is a program that provides
money to help individuals with energy bills and other energy-related expenses.
LIHEAP is funded through the federal government and works with the community
action agencies to help customers pay for and keep electric service in their
homes. Click
