USA, Louisiana: Entergy Louisiana is constructing a new substation and distribution circuits in upper Lafourche Parish to provide customers with reliable power.
The work will benefit customers in and around the Chackbay area as well as some customers in Thibodeaux.
Utility crews will be performing work throughout the spring and summer and expect to complete the project and energize the Chackbay substation and new powerlines by August 2022, pending any unforeseen circumstances. Crews will be setting new poles in the ground and installing new wire and other electric equipment in the air as part of the construction of four distribution circuits that will provide electricity from the substation to area homes and businesses.
“We are excited this much-needed project is underway and are looking forward to bringing it online as a way to support our customers and the region’s economic growth,” said Stacey Fontenot, Entergy Louisiana customer service manager. “Although the planning process for this project predates Hurricane Ida, we are confident it will aid in the area’s recovery and keep it strong and attractive for those who call upper Lafourche Parish home or are considering moving into the area.”
Entergy Corporation is an integrated energy company engaged in electric power production, transmission and retail distribution operations. The company delivers electricity to 3 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
