As Darren Cox held his newborn child in his arms for the first time, he didn’t anticipate that less than a month later, he’d be leaving his home for days on end—working through snow, ice and freezing temperatures to restore power to our customers across our region. For Entergy Mississippi lineworkers like Darren, this is what service looks like when severe weather strikes. 

Entergy’s workforce has restored power to approximately 86% of customers impacted by last weekend’s winter storm. Crews continue working under challenging conditions, including freezing temperatures, to restore service to remaining affected customers.

We’ve restored more than 55% of all Entergy customers across the system following the recent severe winter weather. Restoration efforts remain focused on the hardest-hit areas in Louisiana and Mississippi, with full service expected by this weekend.

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.
