The holidays in New Orleans are truly magical—String lights shimmer in the oaks, homes glow with festive decor and the scent of warm gumbo fills the air. However, keeping the lights on and the house cozy can quickly add up in energy costs.
Entergy New Orleans is committed to providing our customers with reliable, safe, and consistent service, even during challenging times. With the recent approval of our Accelerated Resilience Plan, we are taking a big step towards hardening the electric grid and upgrading the city’s infrastructure to ensure lights stay on longer and power can be restored faster.
Energy Smart, Entergy New Orleans’ energy efficiency program, is helping businesses save money while meeting energy efficiency goals. The Energy Smart Fund has $4 million remaining in 2024 for businesses in Orleans Parish.
