Entergy Texas’ power grid: What is it and why should I care?

Our everyday lives rely heavily on electricity, but have you ever wondered where that power comes from? It all starts with the power grid.

El trabajo duro hace que no tener noticias sea una buena noticia

Hay un viejo adagio que dice: "no tener noticias es una buena noticia." Esto me vino a la mente al pensar en el reciente clima invernal que experimentamos en el sureste de Texas. Los clientes de Entergy Texas vieron temperaturas frías récord, fuertes vientos y precipitaciones invernales. Lo que los clientes de Entergy Texas no vieron fue la necesidad de apagones temporales o la necesidad de que los clientes conservaran la energía. Todo ello a pesar de que nuestros clientes alcanzaron niveles de consumo eléctrico cercanos a los máximos históricos. Y aunque cualquier corte de electricidad es indeseable, ningún cliente de Entergy Texas sufrió un corte de más de 24 horas.

Sustainably powering the future with clean, economical, modern generation

Since 1923, Entergy Mississippi has powered life for customers and communities by providing a reliable supply of safe, affordable electricity. With an increased focus on environmental performance, the company is following that commitment into the 21st century by modernizing its generation fleet to sustainably serve Mississippi’s evolving energy needs.

Hot Weather May Drive Increased Energy Usage

Extremely hot weather across the Midcontinent Independent System Operator’s region, including the Entergy service territory, may drive increased energy usage for the next few days. The heat wave could create an overall demand for power that exceeds generation capacity and a request for customers to voluntarily conserve power. 

Entergy Forced to Initiate Power Outages to Customers Across Its Service Area

Entergy has initiated additional power outages for its customers across its four-state service area. The company is taking this action as directed by our reliability coordinator, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator, as a last resort and in order to prevent more extensive, prolonged power outages that could severely affect the reliability of the power grid.

Mandatory Rolling Outages Ended for Now

Mandatory rolling outages that began at 7 p.m. have ended for now, and we have returned the system to normal operations. All customers affected by this directive were restored by 9 p.m.
