Entergy New Orleans is continuing its citywide efforts to strengthen the electric system, with targeted improvements underway in the Central Business District (CBD) and French Quarter to enhance service for customers and support the city’s growing economic activity.

The work focuses on two of New Orleans’ busiest commercial and tourism corridors, where dependable power is essential to daily operations. From major employers and hotels to restaurants, entertainment venues and historic landmarks, these areas play a significant role in attracting visitors, supporting local businesses and encouraging new investment.

“Reliable power is the foundation of a strong, thriving community,” said Dan Calamari, vice president of reliability at Entergy New Orleans “By investing in our infrastructure and using technology to identify potential issues earlier, we’re working to prevent outages and provide the dependable service our city needs to grow.”

This year, Entergy New Orleans plans to replace 20 targeted underground network transformers housed in electrical vaults across the CBD and French Quarter. This allows for growth and better reliability for our customers and increases safety of our employees.  These new transformers will have advanced monitoring technology installed to support ongoing infrastructure upgrades by providing crews with real-time visibility into equipment conditions. These capabilities enable crews to address potential issues proactively, reducing the risk of service interruptions.

As New Orleans welcomes more visitors, attracts investment and expands business opportunities, a strong electric system remains essential to sustaining the city’s economic momentum.

Through continued investment and proactive maintenance, Entergy New Orleans is working to meet today’s energy needs while preparing the electric system to support the city’s future growth.
