entergy reaches major grid advancement milestone
02/15/2022
a major milestone has been achieved for entergy’s grid modernization initiative. on dec. 31, 2021, entergy completed its initial phase of upgrading more than 3 million electric meters for customers’ homes and businesses. significant progress has also been made with less than 4,000 advanced meter upgrades remaining for gas services.
installing advanced meters and the supporting communications network is one of several investments we have made to build a smarter, more resilient grid for everyone. other enhancements include myentergy.com, the new and improved customer engagement portal, advanced software known as the advance distribution management system used to visualize and control the distribution grid, the addition of new smart devices that can communicate with each other, and the adms system to coordinate and implement changes when an event occurs.
“over the last few years, entergy has significantly modernized the grid, most recently completing three million new meter installations across our four-state service area,” said dale claudel, entergy’s vice president of grid modernization and strategy. “these new technologies bring real benefits to our customers, like putting more control in their hands to better manage their energy usage. it also gives us clearer insight to the power grid and how it is operating, ultimately creating a smarter energy future for our customers and communities.”
advanced meters work together with other smart grid technology to identify power outages more accurately and automatically isolate them, which reduces outage times for our customers.
“these upgrades also lay the foundation for newer technologies and customer solutions, including distributed energy resources and energy storage,” claudel said. “for example, solar panels combined with battery storage can play a key role in grid resiliency and flexibility in the near future. our team is refining ways to integrate advanced energy technologies into the power grid and provide clean energy solutions for our customers.”
