Entergy Texas EV Demand Solutions program
EV Demand Solutions is a program offered by Entergy Texas, designed to help EV owners earn money while charging at home and encourage EV charging off peak during the summer season. By participating in the program, you are helping Entergy Texas manage energy demand on the electrical system during peak hours, which occur when energy usage dramatically increases. EV Demand Solutions seeks to take some of the strain off the grid during those busier times of the day to avoid costly upgrades to the electrical system, helping Entergy Texas maintain reliability and affordability for all of its customers.
Off-peak hours are defined as 7 p.m - noon the following day, during weekdays. These hours are more beneficial to the grid for EV charging, particularly during the peak demand season when the pilot will be running.
With EV Demand Solutions, you can earn a $40 e-gift card for enrolling your qualifying electric vehicle or Level 2 charger and agreeing to charge during off-peak hours.
Earn a $20 e-gift card each additional month of participation for up to four months.
Yes, customers can opt out of participating as needed. However, repeated opt-outs may impact customers’ monthly rewards eligibility.
See the chart below for eligible charging equipment. Your charger must be installed and activated with internet connectivity prior to enrollment. Your Wi-Fi connection and EV charger(s) must be connected to your EV charger manufacturer’s account. You must have an account with your EV charger’s manufacturer to enroll in the program. If you do not have one, you will need to establish an account prior to enrollment.
