    Grand Isle celebrates a key step towards recovery with the commencement of operations at a newly built power substation. The Caminada Substation, constructed to replace the one significantly damaged by Hurricane Ida, promises improved power provision and enhanced resilience. Equipped with backup generators, it could substantially reduce non-operational hours following heavy storms.

    Reflecting the Louisiana government's dedication to increase the region's resistance to severe storms, the $20 million building symbolises Louisiana's resilience. In addition to the substation, Entergy, the local power company, has upgraded the power grid, installing widespread utility poles into robust steel columns and reducing wire distances to create a more wind-resistant structure. These improvements, set to mitigate long outage hours during rains, signify a hopeful advancement towards a sturdier future for the locals.
