“關愛計劃”旨在幫助老年人和殘障人士。
JACKSON, MS / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2024 / Entergy Mississippi has committed $425,654 to provide bill assistance and income-based programs to older adults and customers with disabilities. The power company announced the contribution at a recent Mississippi Braves game. The bill assistance, which includes contributions from employees, customers and shareholders, is distributed through Entergy's The Power to Care program, with the help of The Salvation Army.
密西西比傑克遜/ACCESSWIRE/2024年6月17日/安特吉密西西比已經承諾捐贈425，654美元以提供賬單援助和基於收入的計劃給老年人和殘障人士. 這家電力公司在最近的密西西比勇士隊比賽上宣佈了這項捐贈。包括員工、客戶和股東的捐款通過安特吉的“關愛計劃”進行分配，並得到了救世軍的幫助。
While Mississippians know to expect a hot summer, the scorching temperatures can be especially dangerous for older adults and individuals with disabilities. Having power for air conditioning and fans is a necessity, just like food and medicine.
雖然密西西比人知道應該期待炎熱的夏天，但對於老年人和殘疾人來說，酷熱的氣溫尤其危險。像食品和藥品一樣，擁有空調和風扇供電是必要的。
"Extreme heat increases electricity use, causing power bills to rise and creating further strain on budgets," said Valarie Mabry, public affairs analyst. Mabry helps to coordinate the program for Entergy Mississippi. "However, relief is available, even when there is no reprieve from the weather. We are proud that our employees, customers and shareholders join together to provide assistance for those who need it most through The Power to Care program."
公共事務分析師Valarie Mabry表示：“極端天氣會增加用電量，導致電費上漲，進一步給預算造成壓力。然而，即使沒有減輕天氣的時候，也可以獲得救濟。我們很自豪我們的員工、客戶和股東加入到關愛計劃中，爲最需要幫助的人提供援助。”
Entergy Mississippi customers can help their neighbors in need by donating to the program and adding a monthly gift to their bill. To learn more about how to make a one-time gift donation by credit card or check, visit .
安特吉密西西比的客戶可以通過向該計劃捐款並在賬單上每月捐贈一次來幫助需要幫助的社區人士。要了解如何通過信用卡或支票進行一次性捐款，請訪問 。
All donations go directly to helping our customers make payments on their Entergy bill and are not used for fundraising or administrative purposes. When customers give, Entergy shareholders match the gift, up to $500,000, doubling the impact of the contribution. Donations to Entergy's The Power to Care program are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law. A summary of donations to The Power to Care program are included in the January bill for tax reporting purposes.
所有捐贈直接用於幫助客戶支付其安特吉的賬單，而不用於籌款或行政目的。當客戶捐贈時，安特吉的股東將與之匹配，最高可達50萬美元，將捐贈的金額加倍。對安特吉的“關愛計劃”進行的捐贈可以按照法律允許的最大幅度享受稅收減免。稅務報告用途的捐贈彙總在1月賬單中。
Customers having difficulty paying their bill may also qualify for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP. LIHEAP is funded through the federal government and works with community action agencies to qualify customers and distribute the funds.
支付賬單發生困難的客戶還可以符合低收入家庭能源援助計劃或LIHEAP的資格。LIHEAP由聯邦政府資助，並與社區行動機構合作確定資格並分發資金。
Entergy Mississippi also helps customers manage their energy usage and save money by offering energy efficient upgrades through the Entergy Solutions Marketplace at , and providing these quick and easy energy efficiency tips:
安特吉密西西比通過提供能源解決方案市場上的節能升級和提供以下快速簡易的節能提示來幫助客戶管理其能源使用並節省費用:
- Change air filters. Air filters on some air conditioning units require monthly cleaning or replacing.
- Setting the thermostat to the highest comfortable temperature.The smaller the difference between the inside and outside temperatures, the lower your energy usage and bill will be.
- Buy a programmable thermostat. A programmable thermostat can help manage costs, is controllable, and can help monitor usage.
- Use fans to cool off. Ceiling fans, box fans and oscillating fans use very little electricity to circulate the air. Make sure ceiling fans are rotating in the right direction - counter-clockwise during summer - to push cooler air down into the room. Be sure to turn all fans off in unused rooms.
- Close blinds, shades and curtains to keep the sun out and the cool air in. Also, close air conditioning vents in rooms that are not in use.
- Seal cracks and holes around doors, windows and ductwork. Weather stripping and caulk will help keep the cold air in and the hot air out.
- Use the myAdvisor tool on myentergy.com. The usage and cost tool can compare usage history by month, day and hour.
- 更換空氣過濾器。一些空調設備的空氣過濾器需要每月清潔或更換。
- 將溫度計設置在最高舒適溫度。室內外溫差越小，用電量和費用就越低。
- 購買可編程恒溫器。可編程恒溫器可以幫助管理成本，並可進行控制和使用監測。
- 使用風扇散熱。吊扇、箱形風扇和振動式風扇極少使用電力來循環空氣。確保吊扇在正確的方向上旋轉-在夏季是逆時針方向-將較冷的空氣推到房間內。一定要關掉沒用的房間裏的所有風扇。
- 關閉百葉窗、窗簾和窗戶周圍的裂縫和孔洞。防水條和填縫劑可以幫助保持冷氣在房間內，不讓熱空氣流入。
- 封閉門、窗戶和管道周圍的裂縫和孔洞。防水條和填縫劑將有助於保持冷空氣在房間中，而不是將熱空氣帶出。
- 在myentergy.com上使用myAdvisor工具。使用和成本工具可以按月、日和小時比較使用歷史記錄。
