Is Entergy the Worst Power Company?

I know Entergy has established itself as a one of the nation’s largest utilities and operates several nuclear power plants some of which are outside of its geographical service territory.

But the distribution problems that Entergy is dealing with with just this minimal storm event are troubling. It has been posted on this board some of the issues such as lack of preventative maintenance such as swapping rotten poles and clearing trees from transmission lines. I know they are going to come back to the PSC for a new Storm Adjustment fee just to just to bill is for those repairs.

I know some of these issues may not be Entergy’s fault such as planting trees near transmission lines, and limiting access to lines with fences.

Entergy has done some investment into new lines, I know in the South Lafourche area they recently replaced a Main Feeder that was on wooden polls with Metal poles and moved the main feeder to Grand Isle and Fourchon closer to the road on metal poles so they don’t have to go into the Marsh to repair the lines if they fail.

With all of the recent storms you would think Entergy would be implementing new strategies for distribution to reduce storm outages.
