We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as our dedicated teams worked tirelessly to restore power to the areas affected by Hurricane Beryl. Our employees know firsthand the hardships for customers caused by power outages, especially during the summer, and I want to personally express my gratitude for your unwavering support as we strived to bring power back to over 252,000 affected customers.
There is an old adage that says: “no news is good news.” This came to mind as I thought about the recent winter weather we experienced in Southeast Texas. Entergy Texas customers saw record cold temperatures, heavy winds and winter precipitation. What Entergy Texas customers didn’t see was the need for temporary, rolling outages or the ask for customers to conserve energy. This was despite our customers reaching levels of electricity usage close to all-time highs. And while any power outage is without question undesired, no Entergy Texas customer suffered an outage longer than 24 hours.
One of the oldest power generation companies in America, Entergy Mississippi, is celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2023. The organization began as The Mississippi Power & Light Company in 1923, with a handful of municipal electric systems. Today, it serves over 450,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers in 45 of Mississippi’s 82 counties.
Companies across all industries are seeking to reduce emissions and associated costs from operations, and the power industry is no different. When it comes to generating clean energy, utilities have traditionally looked to renewable and nuclear resources; however, hydrogen is a viable option for renewable energy storage and reliable, clean power generation.
For the fifth year, Entergy Texas employees did their part to ensure that area schoolchildren have the most basic of essentials when the first bell rings this fall. With United Way’s Project Undercover, Entergy offices served as drop-off points for donations of new socks and underwear that benefit Montgomery County students in need.
