Loss of electric service disrupts the simple tasks of daily living – cooking, washing clothes, reading by a lamp. We here at Entergy Corporation know that disruptions will come, either in the form of weather disturbances or other grid interruptions. That certainty has fueled advance planning to mitigate impacts as an ongoing, ever-improving key companywide imperative. Part of that planning includes sharing of resources among Entergy operating companies and participation in regional mutual assistance partnerships with other utilities.
