Arkansas Public Service Commission has announced annual adjustments for electric rates. The summer rate changes take effect April 1st.

Entergy Arkansas customers will see a 3 percent increase in rates for the summer, which means a customer with a $100 monthly bill now will see a bill of $103 beginning in April.

The commission also approved Entergy’s previously announced 18.4 percent reduction in rates in connection with lower federal taxes. That also takes effect Sunday.

The overall adjusted rates mean Entergy’s customers will see about a 15.4 percent lower monthly bill.

Entergy supplies electricity to about 700,000 customers in 63 counties.
