Entergy Mississippi crews continue to make steady progress, restoring service to about 82,500 customers, which is more than 90% of the approximately 87,000 customers who lost service since the storm began affecting our service areas.

Winter weather impacts: understanding significant ice accumulation
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.

Entergy Mississippi is taking to the skies flying drones and helicopters up to 5,000 feet in the air—more than three times the height of the Empire State Building in New York City—to better help scan our region for damages, improving the speed in which we can restore power for our customers. These efforts are part of our team’s continued focus on restoring power after winter weather blanketed significant parts of our service territory with freezing rain and ice last weekend.
