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. 

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.

Entergy Louisiana crews continue to make steady progress restoring power following the winter storm, even as difficult conditions persist across north Louisiana.
