We’ve been monitoring the winter weather over the past several days and are ready to respond to any outages.  Our initial forecast indicated a storm that was going to primarily be north and west of our service area, but the weather has slipped further to the south over the past day.  We’ve relocated the majority of our baseload contractors to Cleveland, Senatobia and Tunica, and have acquired non-baseload contractors that will be located in Southaven.  Additionally, two Entergy Mississippi teams from the south half of the state are moving to the area today.  We’re beginning to see some ice accumulation, and as of 11:20 Thursday morning we have approximately 6,890 customers out statewide with the majority of those being in Desoto County.

As the year draws to a close, our thoughts turn to all things merry and bright as we remember the past and look forward to a new year filled with hope and promise. It was a busy 2021 at Entergy Mississippi, one filled with silver linings and good news. News about growth and economic development in our communities. About building the utility of the future. And about our employees giving back to the communities in which they live and work.
