Entergy Mississippi Shift Serviceman Terry Hooker from the Indianola network has some 22 years’ experience helping keep the lights on in Mississippi. His hard work, focus on safety and mentorship of newer lineman has earned the veteran ‘Lineman of the Game’ honors. Hooker will take it all in when the New Orleans Saints battle their bitter rivals, the Dirty Birds (AKA the Atlanta Falcons), in the Superdome on Sunday, Dec. 18.

When the New Orleans Saints are home in the ‘dome this Saturday, Oct. 9, Entergy Mississippi line worker Vince Burgess will be in the house to watch the team take on the Seattle Seahawks and to be honored as the Entergy Lineman of the Game.

From forests to marshes to river crossings and urban areas, our crews face many obstacles when inspecting our lines. Our service territory is uniquely covered by a variety of environments that our teams work through to keep your lights on. The challenging thing – no two poles are the same. To combat this, our team uses specialized equipment to safely inspect hard-to-reach places.
