UNITED UTILITY SELECTED AS ALLIANCE PARTNER IN ENTERGY TEXAS' MULTIYEAR RESILIENCY PROGRAM TO STRENGTHEN SOUTHEAST TEXAS POWER GRID

NEW ORLEANS, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- United Utility, a leading provider of electric utility infrastructure services, is proud to announce Entergy Texas selected the company to support distribution system resiliency for its Texas Future Ready Resiliency Plan — a comprehensive, multiyear program to strengthen the Southeast Texas power grid.

This partnership further positions United Utility as one of the largest providers of electric grid resilience programs in the nation, while also significantly expanding the company's presence in Texas. United Utility is supporting similar grid hardening programs for Entergy Louisiana, Duke Energy in Florida, and NextEra Energy in Florida.

"We're incredibly excited Entergy Texas has chosen to expand our strategic partnership to support their large-scale grid resiliency program," said Ty Carmeans, West Region President at United Utility. "As a national leader in grid resilience services for electric utilities, United Utility is an ideal partner for Entergy Texas to design and construct the grid enhancements that will reduce storm-related outages times and restoration costs for families and businesses across Southeast Texas."

As part of this program, United Utility will provide engineering design, construction, and material management services, as well as front-end loading, or pole inspections, using aerial drones and ground inspections. Engineering design work is expected to begin by June, with construction to follow in the fall.

The Public Utility Commission of Texas unanimously approved Phase I of Entergy's Texas Future Ready Resiliency Plan in January. United Utility was selected as Entergy Texas' alliance partner for distribution system resiliency in accordance with the PUC filing.

The first phase of the plan will be implemented over a three-year period and includes $137 million in strategic projects to strengthen the Southeast Texas power grid, reduce storm-related outages, and save millions in restoration costs in coming decades.
