COMPLETED 2018 | $20,000,000
THE FACILITY LOCATED AT 720 EAST SOUTH STREET, WAS COMPLETELY RENOVATED TO HOUSE ENTERGY’S HIGH-TECH, HIGH-SECURITY ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION OPERATIONS CENTER (DOC).
THE 35,000 SQUARE FOOT DOC MANAGES THOUSANDS OF MILES OF ELECTRICAL LINES THAT SERVE MORE THAN 449,000 MISSISSIPPIANS. THE STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY IS THE ‘BRAIN’ OF THE ELECTRICAL GRID. THE BUILDING ALSO HOUSES THE COMPANY’S WAR ROOM, WHICH IS A COMMAND CENTER FOR MAJOR RESTORATION EFFORTS, AS WELL AS OTHER DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING CUSTOMER SERVICE, SAFETY, ENGINEERING, AND MORE.
ORIGINALLY BUILT AS A WAREHOUSE, THE NEW BUILDING STILL HAS SOME OF THE ORIGINAL ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES AND CAN HOUSE 150 WORKERS SUPPORTING A MAJOR STORM RESTORATION.
