As Southeast Texas grows, so does the need for a more robust transmission network. With significant population increases and rapid business development, the demand for electricity has never been higher. We are upgrading current transmission lines and building new ones to ensure reliable power can reach fast-growing communities. Quick and efficient construction of these transmission lines is essential to keep pace with this growth and maintain a safe and reliable electric grid. By acting swiftly, we are not only preventing potential outages but also laying the foundation for continued economic expansion and future energy needs.

While most Texans rely on the Electric Reliability Council of Texas grid, Entergy Texas operates under the Midcontinent Independent System Operator grid. Our membership in MISO brings cost savings directly to our customers by sharing resources among a large pool of member utilities that stretches across MISO’s vast footprint from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. By sharing in that large pool, among other customer benefits, we can continue maintaining reliability with less power generation capacity than if we were operating on our own, creating efficiencies and lower costs in energy delivery. Between 2014 and 2022, Entergy Texas customers saved a total of $475 million from the company’s participation in MISO.
