Entergy achieves significant savings

摘要

In 1997, Entergy Corp. (New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.) embarked on a concerted effort to overhaul its vegetation management program. The aim was to improve reliability and cost effectiveness. In 2001, Entergy saw the fruits of its efforts, with vegetation-related customer outages dropping about 50% since 1997. A close look at how this was done reveals valuable lessons for anyone seeking to achieve similar results.
