Entergy New Orleans brings largest commercial rooftop solar project to Louisiana

• A 2.4 MW solar project went on the internet in New Orleans this week care of Entergy New Orleans, executing Louisiana's biggest commercial roof solar project.

Including around 7,000 solar panels, the project covers almost 240,000 square feet of roof area on TCI's stockrooms near the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal. The systems there feed tidy power right into Entergy's electric distribution grid that all its consumers use. The effort will certainly both expand Entergy's tidy power offerings and lower TCI's carbon footprint.

" This project demonstrates our ongoing commitment to supplying tidy, trusted, as well as safe power to New Orleans while simultaneously attaining our consumer's sustainability objectives. Projects similar to this produce value to the local area through job production, and to the atmosphere through carbon decrease," stated David Ellis, president as well as CEO of Entergy New Orleans. "We remain to look for possibilities to innovate as we function to attain our overall sustainability goals for the region."

The new operation comes quickly after Entergy New Orleans finished the building of its 100th domestic roof photovoltaic panel installation. It is still seeking extra sites for panels, consisting of buildings had by educational institutions, government entities, and also nonprofit organizations in Orleans Parish.
