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.

All Entergy Arkansas and Texas customers who could safely receive power were restored yesterday. Restoration for affected Louisiana and Mississippi customers is well underway. As we narrow our restoration efforts to the hardest hit areas, crews continue to face difficult conditions including extreme cold temperatures and icy roads.

– Entergy Louisiana’s storm team of approximately 4,000, continues working to restore power in the midst of freezing temperatures, ice accumulation and hazardous conditions across the company’s service territory.
