Falling natural gas prices are leading to lower electric bills for Entergy customers. Officials with the utility company say households that used an average of 1,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in June paid $72.11, about 44% lower than in August 2008, when it would have cost $128.46 to provide power. Natural gas prices have fallen by 73% from summer of 2008, knocking down the cost of the fuel adjustment. The fuel adjustment reflects the cost of fuel used to produce electricity. Entergy says natural gas prices are projected to remain low, which should keep prices down during the summer months, when power consumption is the highest.
