If your lot causes a system failure for the grid you are on, you will be responsible for any repair costs.

You will need to contact Entergy (1-800-ENTERGY) and let them know you want to install your own electric meter and pole. They will come out and let you know where to install the pole. The next step is getting an electrician to install the electric meter box onto the pole. After that, Entergy will need to know it is available for them to come out and hook up the electricity.
