Incentives UtilitiesElectric Utilities Electric power is provided by AEP Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO). Companies should expect to save significantly on electrical power rates versus other regions in the country. SWEPCO's average commercial rate is nearly 34 percent less than the national average, and the average industrial rate is 19 percent less than the state average and 12.2 percent less than the national average. Construction of a 138kV transmission line and new energy substation was completed in December of 2006 and a second substation is under construction and scheduled for completion by the end of 2008. The substations at The Port will soon be fed by a transmission loop which will enable The Port and its tenants to be fed from two directions which increases power reliability.

Natural Gas Utilities Natural gas is one of the largest sources of energy for businesses in the United States and its popularity continues to grow. During the last decade, the use of natural gas in the United States increased by 35 percent and is expected to continue to grow by another 40 percent by 2015. Natural gas is currently available at The Port through Centerpoint Energy. Water Utilities Water is available at the Port of Shreveport-Bossier and is provided by the City of Shreveport with an excess of 7MM gallons per day. Wastewater processing is provided through the City of Shreveport with current capacity of 5MM gallons per day. Recognizing the critical role water plays for businesses, now and in the future and as a means to be environmentally conscious, The Port of Shreveport-Bossier is currently constructing a gray water line that will allow businesses the option to use gray water. This expands the Port's water capacity without putting critical demands on the area's potable water supply. |
