Entergy January winter storm update – 1/28/2026, 5 p.m.

Restoration efforts are well underway following the recent severe winter weather, which continues to disrupt customers’ lives primarily in Louisiana and Mississippi. We have restored nearly 50% of all Entergy customers across the system, and work continues in the hardest-hit areas, which are expected to be restored this weekend.

Entergy Louisiana provides updated restoration estimates

As of 1:00 p.m., approximately 65,000 customers remain without power, down from a peak of 91,500 outages. The damage from this ice storm is comparable to a category 3 hurricane, but unlike a hurricane, where damage can largely be assessed once a storm passes, ice storm damage is often hidden.
