Commercial electricity and gas rates, energy market structure, regulations, and utility providers for property managers operating in Mississippi.
Mississippi has a regulated electricity market served primarily by Entergy Mississippi, Mississippi Power (a Southern Company subsidiary), and TVA distributors in the northeastern part of the state. Commercial customers cannot choose their electricity supplier. The Mississippi Public Service Commission regulates utility rates and operations.
What this means for property managers:
In Mississippi's regulated market, your utility provides both generation and distribution at rates set by the state public utility commission. While you cannot choose your electricity supplier, you can optimize costs through rate schedule analysis, demand management, and participation in utility efficiency programs.
Rates are set by the public utility commission. No supplier choice available.
Stable
Mississippi commercial rates have remained relatively low and stable, supported by natural gas generation and a low cost of living that influences rate-setting. Rate adjustments have been limited to 2-4% annually.
Mississippi has no statewide energy benchmarking or building performance mandates. The state has minimal building energy regulation and no renewable portfolio standard. Mississippi Power offers commercial energy efficiency programs, and the state provides sales tax exemptions for energy-efficient commercial equipment.
