$233 million investment will harden nearly 200 miles of power lines across the parish
Entergy New Orleans ‘Accelerated Resilience Plan’ to harden the grid across the City received approval today in a full vote of the New Orleans City Council.
The grant will support projects aimed to reduce outage durations, lessen storm costs and speed up recovery time following extreme weather events in Port Arthur, Texas.
Through partnerships with local governments, Entergy Louisiana will use several BRIC grants to bolster electric infrastructure in southeast Louisiana parishes, reducing storm-related damage and speeding up restoration to enhance resilience for the state and its economy.
In ongoing, comprehensive efforts to enhance the resiliency and reliability of the electrical systems in Little Rock, work will soon begin in the downtown Little Rock and surrounding area.
Settlements enable more grid investment, expand eligibility for bill discounts and resolve litigation
Entergy Louisiana representatives and local officials gathered in Lake Charles today to mark the start of phase one of the company’s comprehensive grid resilience plan. The groundbreaking ceremony, set against a backdrop of bucket trucks and utility workers, heralds a new era of hardened infrastructure and accelerated, less costly recovery for communities vulnerable to major storms.
$107.5 million in requested funding would help finance proposed resiliency investments resulting in less damage, lower restoration costs, fewer interruptions, and faster recovery times after major storms.
The plan benefits communities by minimizing outages, reducing restoration costs and improving recovery times for extreme weather events while keeping rates affordable.
