re: It’s storming in NOLA and Turbine 4 just shut down

So they have to build frequency converters (which are being built now) to take the 60Hz Entergy Substation feed and convert to 25Hz for the old pumps. The substation will be significantly more reliable than their current power feed from Entergy (think like a large chemical plant).
Ultimately they will have much more reliable power with the substation as primary and then the older power plant turbines as emergency backup. Then they will replace those turbines with new ones for backup power.
It’s a lot of interconnected power and pumps work and they just don’t have the funds for $1B investment all at once.
