our annual power plant worker appreciation day marks a time to recognize the critical work of the men and women who keep the lights on and power our lives. wednesday, sept. 4, is entergy’s power plant worker appreciation day. this annual observance aligns with the historic activation of the first ever u.s. power plant in new york in september 1882.
“our power plant workers are the unsung heroes of our operation,” said hisham sidani, senior vice president of operations services and generation. “this week, we shine a spotlight on their dedication, but their commitment is around the clock, all year long, ensuring our customers have reliable power. it’s a privilege to be part of such a dedicated team with a safety-first mindset.”
with more than 24,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, entergy owns and operates one of the cleanest large-scale generation fleets in the country. we have 30 active natural gas, oil, hydroelectric, solar, and coal generating facilities with a combined capacity of nearly 19,000 megawatts. our nuclear fleet produces approximately 5,200 megawatts of nuclear capacity.
