Louisiana: A Global Energy Leader
The Louisiana HERO Program, administered by the Louisiana Department of Conservation and Energy (C&E) and backed by funding from the U.S. Department of Energy and the State of Louisiana, supports projects, local planning, and workforce development initiatives that improve energy infrastructure, enhance resilience, and strengthen energy security for Louisianians.
Louisiana's Energy Advantage
A Resilient Future
The Louisiana HERO Program leverages the state's role as a leader in the national and global energy landscape to drive critical energy infrastructure investment, creating a more reliable, resilient, and abundant energy future across Louisiana and furthering its legacy of energy dominance.
Resilience
ProjectsFunding projects that enhance energy systems powering critical infrastructure, strategic assets, and essential operations through investments in transmission, generation, storage, and distribution infrastructure.
Integrated Energy Planning
Integrated Energy Planning's (IEP) locally-informed approach brings together stakeholders to develop a resilience plan identifying areas of greatest energy burden, disaster risks, threats to system reliability and security, and long-duration outage risks.
The IEP process is expected to launch in 2026.
