Electric power that is dependable and reliable doesn’t happen by chance. It happens because our people show up every day ready to do the work that keeps our communities moving.
On September 2, Entergy will celebrate Power Plant Worker Appreciation Day, recognizing the employees whose dedication and commitment to their craft help provide the reliable electricity that millions of customers depend on every day.
This year’s theme, Built to Power, reflects the people behind our generation fleet and the many ways their work makes a difference. They are built to power our customers, our communities, one another, and our future.
Built to power our customers
From operating generating units to maintaining critical equipment, power plant employees work around the clock to ensure customers have the electric power they need.
Every inspection, repair and operational decision plays a role in delivering safe, reliable and affordable power. Much of that work happens behind the scenes, but its impact is felt every day.
“Our nuclear teams exemplify the highest standards of our industry,” said John Dinelli, chief nuclear officer. “Their skill, focus and commitment to excellence ensure our plants operate safely and reliably every day. I’m proud of the expertise they bring to their work and the essential role they play in delivering the energy our communities depend on.”
Built to power our communities
The impact of a power plant extends far beyond its gates. Entergy employees live and work in the communities they serve, and they understand the importance of providing dependable energy to the homes, businesses, schools and essential services that keep those communities thriving.
Reliability is more than keeping the lights on. It is helping communities continue to work, flourish, and grow.
Built to power one another
Across Entergy’s generation fleet, employees rely on one another’s knowledge, experience and commitment to doing the job properly and safely. They speak up about hazards, look out for each other’s wellbeing, and work together to solve challenges—because everyone has a role in creating a strong safety and operations culture.
“Our power plant workers are the foundation of our generation operations,” said Hisham Sidani, senior vice president of operations services & generation. “Their skillsets, drive, and persistence allow us to serve our customers today while helping position Entergy for the future. We are proud to recognize the devotion and expertise they bring to their work every day.”
Built to power our future
The energy landscape continues to evolve, and meeting the needs of tomorrow will require skilled people who are ready to adapt, innovate and continuously improve today.
Entergy’s power plant employees bring that mindset to work every day. Their knowledge and experience help strengthen today’s generation fleet while building the capabilities needed for the future of energy.
This week, Entergy celebrates the people who make reliable power possible.
They are Built to Power.
