Entergy综述了8月31日，在飓风IDA之后确定了向新奥尔良大都市地区获得权力的两种方法，该地区占据了该地区的所有传输线。该地区超过80万人于8月31日没有电力。虽然该公用事业已经开始恢复它。

新奥尔良市议会成员Helena Moreno发布了对Facebook的恩康利的评论，其中该实用程序表示一个选择恢复一些将新奥尔良及其郊区推向国家电网的八条传输线。这是效用的首选选择。

It could also create a mini electrical grid by not reconnecting to the larger grid and instead using generation from the 128-MW New Orleans Power Station east of the city’s core, and from the 560-MW Ninemile 6 plant, across the Mississippi River in Westwego, La., to power the city. Both are relatively new natural gas power plants.

Entergy没有提供时间表，但它已开始修复该地区周围的一些分销线。根据该实用程序，恢复将从医院恢复到医院 - 在发电机 - 护理家庭和第一个受访者上运行。然后，基于本地传输和分布损坏，恢复将因教区和邻域而异。

Questions have been raised why the New Orleans Power Station, which opened in 2020, had not been used earlier.

When the controversial natural gas plant was approved, Entergy touted that it has self-start capability, which allows the company to start the unit even when there is no power on the electric grid, and that the plant would help with storm restoration. Responding to a question about that claim, New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell said at an Aug. 31 press briefing, “I have to make sure that Entergy is held accountable every step of the way,” but that she is primarily focused on getting power back to the city.
