Let us be a catalyst for your business by providing these programs and services:

  • COVID-19 Resources – We've put together these resources to help businesses impacted by COVID-19.
  • Small Business Redevelopment Incentive – Two-year discount of 15 percent on base rates for locating in existing commercial space that has been vacant for at least six months. An optional accelerated discount is available for businesses locating in areas sanctioned by the Mississippi Main Street Association.

  • Large Business Development Incentive – Two-year pilot program available to new customers that create at least 20 full-time jobs and initiate service under the Large Business Base Rates. The discount is a $3.50 per monthly peak kVA for new customers that maintain a 70% or greater monthly load factor. A 36-month discount period is available for customers initiating a five-year contract term or a 60-month period for customers initiating an eight-year contract.
