Reliability

If you live or work in New Orleans you have probably wondered why we have such frequent power outages.  It turns out you are not the only one.

After repeated phone calls from residents and businesses who were left in the dark, the City Council has opened this docket to investigate the root causes of these outages and will be requiring Entergy to implement a plan to fix the problem.

What's causing outages & how to improve dependability

Entergy’s own data shows that 98% of all outages since 2011 have been caused by problems with the transmission and distribution system.

Check out these Watchdog blogs to learn more about the causes of the outages, how they hinder the New Orleans Community, Entergy’s attempts to reduce outages, and how the City Council decided to hold Entergy accountable for its “inaction and omissions in mitigating” the thousands of power outages the city experiences every year:
