Entergy Texas has invested about $28 million to install Colony substation to improve reliability and support the growing electricity demands in Liberty County, Texas as well as the expected commercial development along the Grand Parkway area.

“Our customers depend on us to deliver affordable and reliable service to help power their daily lives,” said Melanie Taylor, vice president of reliability at Entergy Texas. “The completion of the Colony substation is another example our commitment to strengthen and modernize our electrical system and enable growth throughout our service territory."

The substation will support the increased energy needs for residential, commercial and industrial customers in Liberty County, which has more than 100,000 population.

“Liberty County, specifically the City of Dayton, is on the rise as developers, businesses and individuals consider moving to the area,’ said Paul Blackburn, Entergy Texas customer service manager. “The new Colony substation will help provide reliable power to customers and support economic growth.”
