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.

Entergy Mississippi crews are making progress assessing damage and restoring power to customers who were left without power after severe winter weather, including freezing rain and ice, entered the service area over the weekend. Road conditions, failing limbs, access, local temperatures and terrain are factors impacting crews as they work to restore power. As of Monday, Jan. 26, crews are expected to have damage assessments nearly complete by Thursday, Jan. 29.

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.
