SUMMARY: The New Orleans City Council is allocating $100 million for a project with Entergy aimed at strengthening the power grid through the Accelerated Resilience Plan, part of a broader $1 billion initiative over ten years. This plan will harden over 3,000 power poles and repair more than 63 critical electrical lines to ensure quicker power restoration after storms, like Hurricane Francine and Hurricane Ida. The goal is to enhance the grid’s durability, with new poles capable of withstanding winds up to 140 mph. The project is set to begin immediately to better prepare for potential storms.
