Entergy gas construction crews are continuing to make progress in modernizing the gas system in Orleans Parish. This month, crews have been installing steel pipe in the Central Business District. The new piping operates at a higher pressure, will be more reliable and add enhanced safety features. The modern piping also offers customers the ability to install equipment that the previous piping may not have been able to support, such as emergency generators. An Excess Flow Valve is added during the installation of the newer pipe material, which helps to minimize gas flow if the line is severed.

While our customer rates are still below the U.S. average, Entergy Mississippi is taking real action to keep this and other inflationary business cost increases from making your power bill unaffordable.
