Last week we explained where things stand with Entergy Louisiana’s Entergy Solutions program: it’s paused, it’s supposed to come back in a new form, and nobody has put real dates or rebate numbers in front of customers yet. This week, let’s talk about what that feels like if you’re just trying to fix a hot room, tame a humidity problem, or get your power bill back under control.
We’ve been working inside Entergy Louisiana’s efficiency programs since Entergy Solutions first launched, and this is the first time we’ve seen a gap this long with this little clear information coming out.
A 2025 program that quietly disappeared
On paper, Louisiana has a new round of energy‑efficiency programs that were expected to ramp up around 2025–2026. In real life, Entergy Solutions activity wound down in late 2025, and here we are in March 2026 with:
No announced restart date for new Entergy Louisiana rebates
No public list of what upgrades will qualify or how much money is on the table
No simple, plain‑language explanation to customers about what’s going on
Only in Louisiana can we have a “2025 program year” that fades out in October and drifts well into 2026 with families and contractors still guessing when the next round of rebates will actually exist in the real world.
For context, this is not how all utility programs in our region are behaving. Atmos Energy’s efficiency offerings and Entergy New Orleans’ Energy Smart program are still up and running, with rebates paying out and projects moving ahead as usual.
What rebate limbo means for your home
If you’re living in the house, this isn’t just paperwork:
You might be staring at a $350–$450 summer bill and wondering if you should wait on rebates or just fix the problem.
You may have been told “bigger programs are coming in 2026,” but nobody can show you the official details.
You hear different answers from different people, and it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s wishful thinking.
From our side, we’re seeing solid projects delayed – not because the comfort or moisture problems are unclear, but because the rebate picture is.
You don’t have to wait on Baton Rouge to fix your comfort
The reality is simple: your house doesn’t care whether a rebate program is paused. If the upstairs is roasting, the crawlspace is damp, or your air conditioner never shuts off, those problems will still be there when the paperwork finally catches up.
In the meantime, we’re still:
Sealing and insulating attics, walls, and crawlspaces
Pressure‑testing and sealing duct systems so your conditioned air doesn’t leak into the attic
Fixing sizing and airflow issues that drive high bills and poor comfort
We’ve always done this work with or without rebates. Incentives are a great tool when they’re on the table, but they’re not the reason we design high‑performance solutions.
Want to know the minute real rebates are back?
If you’d like to move forward now, we can help you design a project that makes sense with today’s information and, when Entergy Solutions finally publishes the new rules, we’ll help you layer in any incentives you qualify for.
If you’d rather wait and see, we’ll keep you out of the rumor mill:
We’ll email you as soon as there are official launch dates and rebate details.
We’ll translate the fine print into simple “here’s what you can do next” steps for your home.

FAQ – Still Waiting: Louisiana’s Rebate Limbo
Yes. This is a follow‑up to our “What We Know While It’s On Hold” post. That blog covered the background and what Entergy Solutions used to offer. This one focuses on what the ongoing gap feels like for homeowners and what you can do right now.
No. As of March 2026, there is still no official restart date, no published measure list, and no public incentive tables for the next version of Entergy Solutions.
Each utility program operates under its own structure and timeline. Atmos Energy and Entergy New Orleans’ Energy Smart program continued through their current program cycles without the same kind of transition gap. Entergy Louisiana’s Entergy Solutions program is in a separate administrative changeover, which is what created this pause.
That depends on your situation. If you have a serious comfort, moisture, or high‑bill problem, waiting on a program with no announced date means living with that problem indefinitely. We can help you weigh the trade‑offs and design a project that makes sense now, and layer in incentives later if they become available.
Fill out the contact form on our website or call our office and ask to be added to the “Entergy efficiency updates” list. We’ll only contact you when there’s confirmed, official information, not rumors.
