We know how important electric service is to our customers, especially during the bitter cold brought by the recent winter storm. If you’re without power, we understand how difficult this is, and we’re working as safely and quickly as possible to restore service to everyone who can safely take power. If you do have power, please consider taking steps to reduce electric usage to save money during this period of extreme cold — every little bit helps.

Lingering ice continues to stress vegetation and power infrastructure causing delayed damage as crews work in extremely hazardous conditions. So far, restoration crews across Louisiana and Mississippi have worked diligently to restore power to more than one-third of customers following the severe winter weather system that passed through this weekend.

Entergy crews are making progress assessing damage and restoring power to customers who were left without power after severe winter weather, including snow, ice and freezing rain, passed through our service area over the weekend.

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.
