Entergy Louisiana crews and contractors have been working to improve the electric system for approximately 1,900 residential and business customers in the Vacherie area.

As part of the work, more than six miles of power lines are being enhanced with new utility poles, crossarms and braces and other electric equipment. Most of the work is taking place from Highway 20 south to Highway 644 and Highway 643.

To learn more about Entergy’s approach to reliability and some of latest projects the company is undertaking, visit entergy.com/reliability. In addition to ongoing reliability work, Entergy Louisiana has a proposed resilience plan, or an accelerated grid hardening effort, that’s under review with the Louisiana Public Service Commission. To learn more about that plan, visit entergynewsroom.com/news/entergy-louisiana-files-proposed-10-year-entergy-future-ready-resilience-plan.

Together, ongoing reliability work and a strategic resilience plan would help protect the state against future weather events and support the local economy.
