USA, Louisiana, Carlyss: Entergy Louisiana is building a new substation in Carlyss, with four distribution powerlines to support residential growth in the area.
“I’ve spent a lot of time working at Entergy in this part of Calcasieu Parish and have been fortunate to see it grow over the years,” said Calvin Thibodeaux, Entergy Louisiana customer service manager. “This project is a win-win for Carlyss, Choupique, Sulphur and the surrounding areas because it will not only provide power to new customers in the area, but it will also provide more reliable power to existing customers.”
Utility crews expect to perform work through October, with the Thompson substation being completed by sometime in July, pending any unforeseen circumstances. Crews will be setting new poles in the ground and installing new wires and other electric equipment in the air as part of the effort to construct new powerlines that will provide electricity from the substation to area homes and businesses. Some of the existing distribution lines will also be upgraded.
