LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – As summer temperatures continue to climb, Entergy Arkansas is expanding in-person customer care events across the state, including an additional event in Little Rock at the Watershed Family Resource Center where a limited number of free fans will be available to help customers stay cool during the hottest months of the year. These pop-up events connect customers with in-person support, including bill management tools, payment assistance resources and energy-saving tips.
In addition to the event at the Watershed (3701 Springer Blvd., Little Rock) on Wednesday, July 29, pop-ups are scheduled for:
- July 20 – Star City Civic Center 201 Liberty, Star City
- July 21 – Marzell Baptist Church, 200 S. Gould Ave., Gould
Each event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Customers planning to apply for LIHEAP (Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program) assistance should bring the following items:
- A driver’s license or state-issued ID
- Social Security card or number
- Proof of all income
- The most recent utility bill(s) for cooling and heating (regardless of service provider)
- Lease agreement (if living in subsidized housing or if utilities are included in rent)
As temperatures rise and energy use increases, Entergy Arkansas is focused on helping customers manage their bills while staying comfortable. The company’s online Bill Toolkit connects customers to energy efficiency tips, bill management options and financial assistance programs designed to make energy costs more manageable.
“Our goal is simple: meet our customers where they are to make it easier to stay cool, manage their energy bills and access support available to them. That means physically in the communities and with a range of digital tools that help them take control of their energy use,” said Ventrell Thompson, vice president of customer service. “From providing free fans at the Watershed to offering flexible payment options and assistance programs, we’re committed to helping Arkansas families navigate the summer with confidence.”
