Entergy Mississippi has successfully completed restoring power to all customers whose homes and businesses could safety take electricity following this weekend’s severe weather. We are also monitoring the additional severe weather and preparing for the possibility that more storms could affect customers across our service area throughout this week, as soon as this evening.

Severe thunderstorms with high winds and heavy rain moved through the Entergy Mississippi service territory last night and early morning resulting in widespread customer outages. As of 4:30 p.m., approximately 9,975 customers are without power, down from a peak of 25,478 that occurred at 4:00 a.m. this morning. With the widespread outages and damage, some customers will carry overnight.

This week’s announcement by Amazon that they are doubling their investment in Mississippi is good news for everyone in our state. Entergy Mississippi’s planned grid investments will support Amazon’s expansion while strengthening reliability for customers across the 45 counties we serve.
