Entergy Louisiana recently completed construction of a transmission project that adds resiliency and increases reliability to the electrical grid in southwest Louisiana. The completion of this project will also help attract new economic development projects to the region and benefit existing residential, commercial and industrial customers in the area.

$79.5 million in requested funding would help finance proposed infrastructure investments to increase reliability and resiliency of electric power delivery, resulting in less damage, lower restoration costs, fewer interruptions, and faster recovery times after major storms

A major milestone has been achieved for Entergy’s grid modernization initiative. On Dec. 31, 2021, Entergy completed its initial phase of upgrading more than 3 million electric meters for customers’ homes and businesses. Significant progress has also been made with less than 4,000 advanced meter upgrades remaining for gas services.
