Entergy Texas Says Customers Have Saved Nearly $200 Million Under MISO Membership
April 26,2019
Entergy Texas said that Texas customers have saved approximately $198 million in the five years since Entergy Texas joined the Midcontinent Independent System Operator.
The savings realized by Texas customers are more than double what Entergy Texas initially projected as customer benefits upon joining MISO, the company said
"The estimated $198 million in savings realized between 2014 and 2018 is largely because power plants across a broader region are dispatched more efficiently on the transmission grid, resulting in a lower delivered cost of energy. Significant savings also arise from MISO members sharing generation reserves across the organization’s footprint, producing long-term benefits for customers," the company said
Entergy Texas, Inc. provides electricity to approximately 450,000 customers in 27 counties.
