25Hz Power Generation Capacity

Our older drainage pumps require 25Hz power. The modern standard is 60Hz. Turbine 4, Turbine 5 and our EMDs (back-up generators) generate 25Hz power. We also have Frequency Changers that convert 60Hz power provided by Entergy to 25Hz. The graphic below shows how much 25Hz power we can currently generate with the sources available.

49 MW

Currently Available

44MW of power needed at peak demand

Power Status:

  • Turbine 4 unavailable.
  • SWBNO crews anticipated bringing T4 back online the week of July 1. However, after replacing the bearings and conducting testing on the turbine, we identified further improvements needed to fully rehabilitate the machine, which was orginally built in 1915. We anticipate receiving the necessary additional parts after the July 4th holiday. Contractor personnel and SWBNO staff will be on standby to continue testing once the parts arrive.
