Autotransformers play an important role in the electric grid. This 575,000-pound piece of equipment converts a higher voltage (500,000V) to a lower one (230,000V), distributing that lower voltage out to multiple lines and substations. From there, that voltage will make its way across distribution lines and, eventually, to homes and businesses on your street. #WePowerLife I #InfrastructureWeek
About us
At Entergy (NYSE: ETR), we power life. More than 100 years ago, our founder Harvey Couch started this company with a handshake, some sawdust and a vision. Couch wanted to bring safe, affordable, reliable energy to the Middle South – energy that would power the lives of people and communities. Today, we own and operate one of the cleanest large-scale U.S. power generating fleets including more than five gigawatts of carbon-free nuclear capacity, a fleet of highly efficient gas resources, and a fast-growing portfolio of renewable resources. The nearly 12,000 men and women of Entergy deliver electricity and gas services to 3 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, generating annual GAAP revenues of $13.8 billion. Headquartered in New Orleans, we continue to play a driving role in the economic growth of the Gulf South. Our work matters. That’s been true for more than 100 years. And as we look to the next century, we remember the constant that bridges our past and future: We Power Life. Fast Facts: Entergy currently has a 90% rating on the 2022 Corporate Equality Index released by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This score places Entergy among the top energy and utility companies in the survey. With roots in the Gulf South region for more than a century, Entergy is a recognized leader in corporate citizenship, delivering more than $100 million in economic benefits to local communities through philanthropy and advocacy efforts annually over the last several years. With a total of 44 awards from EEI for its restoration and mutual-assistance work, Entergy remains the only utility company to have won either EEI's Recovery or Assistance Award, or both, every year since the awards began in 1998.
