On billsafter the decision
Entergy Arkansas filed its next formula rate plan application with the Arkansas Public Service Commission on February 27, 2026, in Docket No. 26-001-U, again electing to be regulated under the formula rate plan rather than a full base rate case. The filing seeks an average retail rate increase of 1.92 percent across all customer classes, but for a typical 1,000 kWh residential household the increase works out to less than 1 percent, about 1.16 dollars a month. An evidentiary hearing is scheduled for November 4 and 5, 2026, with new rates proposed to take effect in January 2027 if approved.
What it means for your bill: Entergy Arkansas has asked to raise a typical residential bill about 1.16 dollars a month starting in 2027; the case has not been decided yet.
