Severe weather is impacting our region with increased strength and greater frequency. And, we are adapting.

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.

Hard work makes no news good news

There is an old adage that says: “no news is good news.” This came to mind as I thought about the recent winter weather we experienced in Southeast Texas. Entergy Texas customers saw record cold temperatures, heavy winds and winter precipitation. What Entergy Texas customers didn’t see was the need for temporary, rolling outages or the ask for customers to conserve energy. This was despite our customers reaching levels of electricity usage close to all-time highs. And while any power outage is without question undesired, no Entergy Texas customer suffered an outage longer than 24 hours.
