Louisiana has always been defined by resilience, our ability to endure hardship and emerge stronger. From hurricanes to economic challenges, our state has faced adversity time and again, proving that we can rise, adapt and rebuild.
But the next chapter of resilience isn’t just about recovery; it’s about readiness. True resilience means anticipating challenges before they happen. At Entergy Louisiana, we believe that by planning ahead, strengthening grid infrastructure and investing in innovation, we can deliver reliable power to our communities no matter what.
Entergy Louisiana is investing an average of $380 million per year from 2024 through 2028 to upgrade approximately 3,240 miles of distribution and transmission lines and an estimated 62,000 structures. These upgrades reinforce our system to better withstand high winds, floods, ice storms, fires and other extreme events, ensuring reliable service when Louisiana needs it most.
Investing in grid hardening ahead of storms is not just about reliability—it’s also the most cost-effective approach. Upfront resilience investments reduce long-term costs for customers by preventing widespread damage, shortening outages, and avoiding the much higher expense of emergency restoration after a major storm. Every dollar spent proactively helps keep future costs down and protects the communities we serve.
By combining strong infrastructure with cutting-edge technology, Entergy is not only strengthening reliability today but preparing Louisiana’s grid for tomorrow. As industries, businesses and households demand more consistent, high-quality power, our modernization efforts ensure the grid can support that growth and keep Louisiana competitive.
These grid enhancements also support the integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, key components of building a more sustainable energy network for the state. The ability to balance traditional energy sources with renewables is what will enable Louisiana to meet its energy needs in a sustainable way.
For generations, Louisianians have understood resilience as the ability to recover quickly from difficulties. But it is also the capacity to withstand, to remain steady and unaffected when tested.
We’re being proactive by designing systems that can operate through natural disasters, economic shifts and other challenges without disruption. Every investment we make in grid modernization, every upgrade to our infrastructure and every partnership we pursue is part of a shared commitment to keep the lights on.
