Entergy New Orleans has initiated Phase 1 of its Accelerated Resilience Plan in District C, aiming to enhance the city's electric grid to better withstand extreme weather and improve service reliability. The plan, which includes 63 infrastructure improvement projects set for completion between 2025 and 2026, promises no impact on customer bills. The initial work, visible along the General DeGaulle corridor, involves installing stronger utility poles capable of withstanding winds up to 140 miles per hour. This effort, supported by local council members, underscores a commitment to bolstering grid resilience, improving quality of life, and supporting public health and local businesses in New Orleans.
