Advanced composite poles withstand hurricane-level weather conditions, providing reliable power and a stronger energy future for Southeast TexasnEntergy Texas is transforming the power grid on the Bolivar Peninsula, investing $110 million in a multi-phase project to enhance reliability and meet rising energy demands. A crucial part of this effort is the introduction of composite poles—an advanced alternative to traditional wooden poles. These poles, made from durable, engineered materials and supplied by Resilient Structures, are designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including hurricanes and wildfires, making them a critical component of the region’s infrastructure upgrade.

Entergy’s Waterford 3 Nuclear Generating Station and River Bend Station in Louisiana and Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Mississippi operated at full power during Hurricane Francine, which once again shows the resiliency and strength of nuclear power.

Across the nation, electricity demand forecasts are increasing, driven by economic development and our society’s ever-increasing dependency on technology. The growth opportunities we have before us in Mississippi rely on many key outcomes, but the one I’m most excited about is Entergy Mississippi’s ability to meet our customers’ needs. We’re going to do that, while continuing our commitment to build a better future by balancing power reliability and affordability for our customers.

Self-healing network and reliability work to reduce power outagesnEntergy Louisiana is enhancing the electric system for communities in the Interstate 10 to Jefferson Highway corridor near the East Baton Rouge and Ascension parishes line.
