Entergy Bolts Down Jefferson Parish Grid | New Orleans News

Entergy Louisiana is pouring $270 million into Jefferson Parish to fortify the electrical grid against hurricanes, replacing and reinforcing thousands of utility poles built to withstand 140 mph winds. Starting with Veterans Boulevard — where over 500 poles will be upgraded by October — the project targets storm-prone zones using real data to maximize impact. Businesses, especially in healthcare and tech, benefit from shorter outages and reliable power. Some traffic delays and planned outages may occur, but customers will be notified in advance. This is about long-term resilience — keeping lights on, businesses running, and communities safe through whatever Mother Nature throws their way.
