We’ve restored more than 55% of all Entergy customers across the system following the recent severe winter weather. Restoration efforts remain focused on the hardest-hit areas in Louisiana and Mississippi, with full service expected by this weekend.
When a massive winter weather event hits an area more familiar with tropical temperatures, thunderstorms and tornadoes, the impacts are often hard to fathom. The recent storm that swept through Entergy’s service territory – disrupting electrical service for approximately 171,200 Entergy customers – brought with it significant ice accumulation and extreme challenges that have slowed our restoration efforts.

Restoration efforts are well underway following the recent severe winter weather, which continues to disrupt customers’ lives primarily in Louisiana and Mississippi. We have restored nearly 50% of all Entergy customers across the system, and work continues in the hardest-hit areas, which are expected to be restored this weekend.
Lingering ice continues to stress vegetation and power infrastructure causing delayed damage as crews work in extremely hazardous conditions. So far, restoration crews across Louisiana and Mississippi have worked diligently to restore power to more than one-third of customers following the severe winter weather system that passed through this weekend.
All Entergy Arkansas and Texas customers who could safely receive power were restored yesterday. Restoration for affected Louisiana and Mississippi customers is well underway. As we narrow our restoration efforts to the hardest hit areas, crews continue to face difficult conditions including extreme cold temperatures and icy roads.
Restoration is well underway as Entergy crews continue making progress assessing damage and restoring power to customers left without electricity after severe winter weather — including snow, ice and freezing rain — passed through our service area over the weekend.

Safety is our core value and always comes first. Then, restoring power is the top priority and first order of business. We assemble and organize the workforce needed to restore service safely and quickly to all customers.
Where it is safe to do so, crews have begun restoring power to customers who lost service, but continued icy conditions may delay crews from safely getting to work. With temperatures dropping below freezing overnight, there is a threat of refreezing on untreated surfaces, which could hamper traveling until roads thaw. We continue to monitor the forecast and are prepared to respond as soon as we can safely do so.
