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.

As of 7 a.m., approximately 53,345 customers across Entergy Louisiana’s service area are without power as a result of winter weather impacting the region. Ice accumulation, freezing temperatures and hazardous road conditions make restoration efforts challenging by slowing access to damaged equipment and creating unsafe working conditions.

With severe winter weather entering our service area this evening, it’s time for Entergy and our customers to complete last-minute preparations. We are prepared, and we want you to be prepared too.
