Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, located in Port Gibson, Mississippi, is the only nuclear power plant in the state. For 40 years, this facility continues to power nearly one million homes across the region with approximately 1,500 megawatts of electricity. As the largest single-unit nuclear power plant in the United States, Grand Gulf employs approximately 750 highly skilled and highly trained nuclear professionals, dedicated to keeping the lights and safety the priority.

The majority of our customers impacted by the winter weather that brought snow, ice and below freezing temperatures to parts of our service area have been restored. As of 6:15 a.m., approximately 12,530 Entergy customers in the hardest-hit areas of Louisiana and Mississippi are without power. Our crews will continue working to restore service until the last light is on.

We continue to make steady progress, restoring service for more than 75% of our customers, but conditions remain dangerous and unpredictable as ice-related hazards persist and new risks emerge daily. Freezing temperatures and high winds could impact restoration efforts throughout the weekend.
