Entergy Arkansas - Agricultural Energy Solutions Program Rebates
You can reduce energy costs on your agricultural operation by installing efficient lighting, fans, pumps, and variable frequency drives through Entergy Arkansas's rebate program. Incentives are calculated at $0.17 per kWh saved and can cover up to 100% of equipment costs; after your project is inspected and verified, you typically receive your rebate within six to ten weeks. Contact the program team at 501-435-3010 or AgriculturalEAL@icf.com to discuss eligible improvements and receive technical guidance from application through payment.
Entergy Arkansas welcomes qualified contractors to work directly with agribusiness customers on energy-efficiency projects including LED lighting with controls, variable frequency drives, pump tune-ups, and fans. Incentives are standardized at $0.17 per kWh saved and can reach 100% of product cost when projects are verified for actual savings; customers may also use in-house staff, giving you flexibility in engagement. Note that customers considered Free Riders (those who would install measures without incentive support) are ineligible, so focus on retrofits of aging equipment or new facility builds.
This rebate program targets agricultural customers on designated rate schedules (agricultural pumping, general farm service, small and large general service) including poultry, dairy, cattle, swine, horticulture, row crops, and aquaculture operations. Rebates are calculated at a fixed $0.17/kWh saved with up to 100% cost coverage for individually evaluated, verified projects; funds cover custom measures pending technical approval. Program delivery includes application support, inspection, and processing with typical six-to-ten-week payment cycles; disqualify Free Riders and confirm cost-effectiveness before incentive approval.
