Entergy and Cleco customers to get refund

Baton Rouge, La (NBC33) — The public service commission says Cleco and Entergy customers will be getting some money back.

The one time rebate comes out to around $12. It'll be on the September bill.

It comes after the commissioners called for a reduction in the profit margins of the two companies.

“Even though none of us like to pay utility bills, it’s always good news to find out bills are being held low by payments we received from the companies,” states PSU commissioner Lambert Boissiere.

Now this has been done in the past. The amount of refunds for customers adds up to $700 million.
