Entergy's power restoration strategy

A high-voltage transmission line from Slidell began delivering power from the outside world to the New Orleans area Wednesday morning, a significant breakthrough in the utility’s efforts to restore power after Hurricane Ida knocked out all electricity.

In a conference call with reporters at about 10 a.m., Entergy Louisiana CEO Phillip May and Entergy New Orleans CEO Deanna Rodriguez explained that the new New Orleans Power Station in New Orleans East is being used to ration the power coming in from Slidell in bite-sized pieces, up to 128 megawatts.

What Cantrell should've did was talk to the president about getting some men in helicopters to get bottles of water to the people like they did for Hurricane Katrina.

I appreciate the text updates energy has been giving us. Makes me feel we are moving forward even if it’s a little bit at a time. I know that are working hard. It gives us hope we won’t be away from our homes as long as we were for Katrina.
