WE POWER WHAT MATTERS

<p><strong>When disasters disrupt and destroy, Quanta Operating Units restore and rebuild.</strong></p>


COLD, HARD FACTS: A HIGH-STAKES REPAIR ON ALASKA’S NORTH SLOPE

<p>Quanta Operating Units provided emergency restoration for 105 straight days. From August 1st until November 13th, crews from 21 Quanta Operating Units repaired and rebuilt utility infrastructure across 24 states. Over 7,000 lineworkers spent 1.9 million man-hours helping those affected by the storm return to normal life.</p>
<p>Some of the most critical projects took place in Louisiana, where Entergy’s transmission system was decimated by Hurricane Laura. Two 500kV lines that serve as the electrical backbone for the state of Louisiana were completely disabled by the destruction of 68 structures. Quanta Operating Units were tasked with removing and replacing the damaged towers—a project that would take a year to complete in normal circumstances. Even with the effects of another hurricane complicating construction, Quanta Operating Units had the lines ready to energize in under 40 days.</p>

RESTORE AND RECOVER: QUANTA’S RESPONSE IN THE 2020 STORM SEASON

<p>At the storm’s peak, approximately 1.2 million customers on the Gulf Coast lost power. Ida’s fury left some communities temporarily uninhabitable due to storm surges more than 15 feet high. Electric companies in the storm’s path would need to repair or replace more than 30,000 power poles, 36,000 spans of wire, and 6,000 transformers. In total, Hurricane Ida destroyed more power poles than hurricanes Delta, Ike, Katrina, and Zeta combined. More than 2,100 lineworkers from Quanta Operating Units deployed to the areas affected. Over 140 consecutive days, these lineworkers spent 1.1 million man-hours restoring power and utilities. In many places, damage from Ida meant that crews were forced to rebuild the entire energy grid.</p>
<p>The barrier island town of Grand Isle, Louisiana saw more than 700 structures flattened by Ida. In the months following the storm, Quanta Operating Units helped restore permanent power to the community. Grand Isle’s electrical infrastructure was rebuilt stronger and more resilient. Upgrades to the grid included Grand Isle’s new substation, which is now rated to withstand winds up to 150 miles per hour.</p>
<p>Quanta Operating Units leave the communities they serve better able to contend with future disasters.</p>
<p>“I can’t say enough about the generosity and gratitude we received from the people of the communities we served … we were all there to get the job done safely and as efficiently as possible.”</p>
<p>– Mark Miller, Stringing Supervisor, Quanta operating unit</p>
