We used a data-driven approach to evaluate thousands of potential storm scenarios to identify specific projects which involve replacing existing utility poles with bigger, stronger, more fortified poles that are designed to withstand higher winds during extreme weather events.

The work being done in the Phase 1 plan is unprecedented, and it is only the beginning of the accelerated resilience work that Entergy New Orleans has planned for the city to create a stronger, more resilient grid for our customers. We will continue to work with the New Orleans City Council to limit storm-related outages, shorten restoration times, and reduce restoration costs for customers following major storm events. These enhancements to grid infrastructure will all help New Orleans communities get back on their feet quicker following a storm.
