Crews and contractors have traveled to the tip of eastern New Orleans to repair and rebuild our infrastructure in the Venetian Isles, Lake Catherine and Irish Bayou area after Ida’s winds damaged crossarms and knocked poles down into the marsh. Now, instead of replacing the remote facilities in the wetland, crews are building an accessible 81-pole power line spanning 2.1 miles on dry land.
One of the most challenging things about Hurricane season is that it is brings high temperatures and humidity. At Entergy, safety is a core value for our employees and our customers, which is why we have partnered with New Orleans Recreational Development to provide generators to its facilities for residents to cool off, hydrate and charge their phones, while our crews continue to restore power in the greater New Orleans area.
The anticipation of summer fun may be the homerun of the school year, but for many students scoring an internship is the grand slam.
Keeping your power on every time you walk in the door, clap or flip the switch is our priority, but did you know that there are creatures who lurk among us that can disrupt your power?
While employees volunteer tens of thousands of hours year-round, National Volunteer Month is one of the most recognized times employees enjoy giving back to the community. Entergy’s information technology team contributed more than 400 hours of community service, exceeding their #IT100HourChallenge in April.
A long-term partnership between Entergy and Green Light New Orleans continues to help create sustainable, healthy and vibrant communities through a one-of-a-kind rain barrel program and volunteerism.
At Entergy New Orleans, giving back and volunteering gives our employees, community partners and neighbors a chance to develop lasting friendships. While our service to the community is at the heart of our vision to power life, it is always a warming feeling to see our relationships come full circle.
At Entergy, we are committed to powering life every time a customer flips the light switch in their home or business. And that commitment is safely upheld 24/7, during storms, sleet and snow by our more than 13,000 employees.
Did you know that energy costs are often the second-largest expense in schools? At Entergy New Orleans, powering education does not stop at making sure the lights are on for teachers to produce bright pupils. We also are partnering with schools to help them find cost effective solutions to manage their energy use and expenses.
Crews have restored power to more than 100,000 customers just one day after Hurricane Zeta tore through southeast Louisiana Wednesday afternoon.
