The federal Project Grant award in the amount of $109,141,183.00 from the U.S. Department of Energy's Grid Infrastructure Deployment and Resilience program (CFDA 81.254) will be used by Entergy Texas, Inc. to improve grid resilience and increase power capacity in Port Arthur, Texas. The objective is to enhance the reliability and flexibility of the electric grid infrastructure in this major hub for the U.S. petroleum industry and home to over 55,000 residents who have faced extreme weather events. The project will maintain and upgrade critical generation facilities, enhance transmission and distribution systems, and deploy smart grid technologies to prevent power outages, integrate renewable energy, and strengthen emergency preparedness in the region. This 5-year project builds on Entergy Corporation's extensive experience providing utility services to federal government agencies and facilities across the southern United States.
