hurricane ida recovery
Project Overview
Following the aftermath of Hurricane Ida’s destruction which made landfall to the Louisiana coast on August 29, 2021, GIS was contracted by Entergy’s Power Through team to provide an EPC temporary power generation solution for their South Louisiana customers affected by storm. These services included providing temporary power generation equipment, installation and maintenance until grid power is restored in the affected areas. GIS’ fleet for the program encompasses 60+ generators available for deployment, and a team of 50 individuals that have commissioned 40+ locations to date. Despite the fact that GIS’ corporate office is located within Lafourche Parish, the team was able to utilize other locations strategically located within the Southeast Louisiana region to provide labor and equipment to respond to the client’s needs.
