If your Mississippi Power bill appears incorrect, a payment has not posted, your electricity is out, you need to start or stop service, or someone is threatening immediate disconnection, use the support route that matches the problem. Billing and account questions should go through customer care, while outages, downed lines and other electrical hazards require immediate reporting.

Mississippi Power publishes different hours for specific support needs. Its mobile-app help page lists customer service as available weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Another account-help page lists login assistance Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. CST. Because these official schedules differ, confirm current representative availability when calling. Online account and outage tools may remain accessible outside live-agent hours.
Which Mississippi Power Support Route Should You Use?
- Power outage: Report it through the official outage tool or call 1-800-532-1502.
- Downed or low-hanging power line: Stay away, warn others and call Mississippi Power. Call 911 when there is an immediate danger or the area needs to be secured.
- Billing or payment dispute: Review the bill and payment history through your online account, then call customer service if the charges remain unclear.
- Payment arrangement or assistance: Contact customer service before the account reaches its disconnection date and ask which options are currently available.
- Start, stop or transfer service: Use the online service-request tool and save the confirmation information.
- Account login or mobile-app problem: Use the password-recovery tools first, then call customer service if access cannot be restored.
- Streetlight problem: Use Mississippi Power’s online streetlight-reporting route through its website.
- Suspected scam: End the call or visit and independently contact Mississippi Power at 1-800-532-1502.
What to Have Ready Before Contacting Mississippi Power
Gathering the relevant information before calling can make it easier to explain the problem and document the outcome.
- Your Mississippi Power account number
- The customer name and service address shown on the bill
- The telephone number associated with the account
- The bill date, billing period and amount in dispute
- The date, amount and method of a payment that did not post
- A payment confirmation or receipt
- Any outage or service-request confirmation number
- The requested start, stop or transfer date
- Copies of relevant notices, while keeping private information out of public comments
- Dates, times and summaries of earlier customer-service contacts
Power Outages and Downed Power Lines
Report an outage even if nearby homes have already lost power. Reporting helps Mississippi Power associate the outage with the correct account and service location. Customers can use the official online outage tool, check the outage map or call 1-800-532-1502.
Never touch a downed wire or anything the wire may be touching. Keep people and pets away from nearby trees, fences, puddles, vehicles and debris. Mississippi Power instructs customers who see a downed line to call the company and call 911 so the area can be barricaded until repairs are made.
Do not assume a line is safe because it is not sparking. Do not attempt to move a wire, branch or other object. Restoration estimates can change as crews inspect damage, weather changes or additional hazards are discovered.
Billing Questions and High Electric Bills
Before disputing a high bill, compare the current bill with earlier billing periods and review:
- The number of days in the billing cycle
- Current and previous meter readings
- Electricity usage compared with the same season last year
- Heating or air-conditioning use during extreme temperatures
- Rate or pricing adjustments
- Any previous balance, late charge or deposit
- Payments, credits or adjustments shown on the account
- Whether the account is enrolled in Budget Billing
When calling, ask the representative to explain the usage, billing period, rate, previous balance and each disputed charge. Request a case or reference number and write down any promised review, adjustment or callback. A billing inquiry does not guarantee that a charge will be removed or refunded.
Mississippi Power Payment Options
Mississippi Power offers several payment routes, including online bank-account payments, Auto Pay, authorized payment locations and debit- or credit-card payments through BillMatrix.
BillMatrix is a separate automated payment service and is not Mississippi Power. If a card payment fails, is duplicated or is delayed, determine whether the problem involves BillMatrix’s transaction processing or Mississippi Power’s posting of the payment to the utility account. Keep the transaction confirmation and do not submit repeated payments unless you have confirmed that the first attempt failed.
Authorized payment locations may include third-party retailers. Verify the location through Mississippi Power’s official payment locator and obtain a receipt. A retailer employee does not control Mississippi Power billing decisions, service restoration or payment-arrangement approval.
Budget Billing, Payment Arrangements and Assistance
Mississippi Power’s Budget Billing program is intended to make monthly amounts more predictable by smoothing seasonal changes. It is not a discount, and the customer remains responsible for the underlying electricity charges.
Customers who may have difficulty paying should contact Mississippi Power before the disconnection date. Ask about currently available payment arrangements, extensions, Project SHARE, LIHEAP referrals and other assistance resources. Eligibility and available funding can change, and submitting an application does not guarantee approval or prevent disconnection.
The Mississippi Public Service Commission publishes residential ratepayer rights involving disconnection notices, certain payment arrangements, qualifying medical situations, severe-weather protections and disputed utility bills. The requirements depend on the circumstances and applicable utility rules, so customers facing disconnection should act promptly and confirm what documentation or payment is required.
Medical Equipment and the L.I.V.E. Program
Mississippi Power offers the L.I.V.E. program for qualifying customers who rely on certain life-support equipment. The account must be documented through the company’s required application process, including physician information.
Enrollment does not guarantee uninterrupted electricity and does not prevent disconnection for nonpayment. Anyone who depends on electrically powered medical equipment should maintain an emergency plan developed with appropriate medical and emergency professionals. Call 911 for a medical emergency.
Starting, Stopping or Transferring Service
Use Mississippi Power’s official service-request tool to request new service, stop service or handle a move. Be prepared to provide the service address, requested effective date, customer identification and any deposit or documentation required for the account.
Save the confirmation number and verify the effective date. Submitting an online request does not guarantee immediate activation or disconnection. Inspections, permits, access issues, outstanding balances or other account requirements may affect processing.
Landlords, tenants, property managers and contractors should confirm who is authorized to establish or discontinue the account. Mississippi Power customer service cannot resolve a private lease dispute or decide who is financially responsible under a rental agreement.
Mississippi Power Scam and Impersonation Warning
Mississippi Power warns that it does not send employees to homes or businesses to collect payments. It also says employees will not call or visit and request personal or financial information.
- Do not trust caller ID alone; telephone numbers and company names can be spoofed.
- Do not provide account, banking, card or Social Security information to an unexpected caller or visitor.
- Do not make an immediate payment through a link or telephone number supplied in a threatening message.
- Do not let an unexpected visitor inside solely because the person claims to represent the utility.
- Mississippi Power employees making service-related visits should carry company identification and arrive in company-marked vehicles or apparel.
- End suspicious contact and independently call 1-800-532-1502.
- Contact local law enforcement when someone is attempting to enter a property, obtain money or impersonate a utility employee.
How to Escalate a Mississippi Power Complaint
- Contact Mississippi Power at 1-800-532-1502 and explain the specific billing, payment, outage, service or account problem.
- Ask for a case number or other reference number.
- Record the date, time, department and summary of each conversation.
- Ask for a supervisor or the department responsible for the issue if the first representative cannot resolve it.
- Keep bills, receipts, payment confirmations, service requests and written notices.
- For an unresolved regulated utility dispute, use the Mississippi Public Service Commission consumer-assistance process.
The Mississippi Public Service Commission encourages customers to first attempt to resolve the dispute with the utility. Its complaint process is separate from Mississippi Power and does not guarantee a particular refund, adjustment, reconnection or other outcome.
Mississippi Power Company and Southern Company
The legal operating company is Mississippi Power Company. Mississippi Power is an electric operating company within the Southern Company system. Southern Company is the parent company, but ordinary billing, outage and service questions should be directed to Mississippi Power rather than Southern Company’s investor or corporate departments.
Mississippi Power is also separate from Entergy Mississippi. Despite the similar names, Mississippi Power Company and the former Mississippi Power & Light business now associated with Entergy are different utilities. The correct provider depends on the service address.
Mississippi Power Headquarters
Mississippi Power Company’s principal business address is:
Mississippi Power Company
2992 West Beach Boulevard
Gulfport, MS 39501
This is a corporate or principal business address. Do not assume it is a public walk-in customer-service office, payment location or complaint counter. Do not mail payments, original documents or other items to the address unless Mississippi Power provides specific instructions for the matter.
Pedro Cherry is Mississippi Power’s chairman, president and CEO. Executive leadership does not replace normal customer-service, outage, billing or regulatory complaint channels.
