The plan is expected to help customers by reducing future storm restoration costs by approximately $129 million and minimizing the duration of power outages by 4.5 billion minutes.

Entergy Texas has filed an application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) for approval of Phase I of its comprehensive Texas Future Ready Resiliency Plan to protect the Southeast Texas power grid from extreme weather and improve service reliability.

The investments included in Phase I are expected to help customers by reducing future storm restoration costs by approximately $129 million and minimizing the duration of power outages following significant weather events by 4.5 billion minutes, over the next fifty years, upon receiving approval.

Phase I of the company’s Resiliency Plan is a multiyear proposal including six measures to prevent, withstand, and recover from damage imposed by significant storm events.
