Today officials with Mississippi County Economic Development and Entergy Arkansas announced completion of the utility’s Select Site certification for the Osceola Driver 130 industrial site, which sits on 130 acres near I-55, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railway, and the Mississippi River.
Entergy Arkansas helped power stronger, healthier communities in in 2020 by contributing $1,075,608 to nearly 90 nonprofit organizations statewide. Coupled with 23,501 hours of volunteer service last year, the total impact is approximately $1.7 million.
As storms move across the state, heavy winds can knock down trees and power lines. Stay away from these areas, and report any downed lines as soon as possible. Prepare for potential power outages.
Chirping birds, blooming flowers and rising temperatures this week may lift spirits, but a whiff of something more ominous is also in the air: spring storm season.
It has been nearly a year since Entergy Arkansas suspended disconnects for nonpayment. During this time, Entergy Arkansas also implemented an Enhanced Customer Assistance Plan that provides customers with flexible options to extend time to pay.
Entergy line worker crews follow the CDC’s recommendation on wearing face covering where social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, while working on power lines.

Action requested due to demand potentially exceeding available generation
Entergy Arkansas customers are asked to voluntarily reduce their electricity usage, especially between 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. today due to the demand for electricity potentially exceeding the available generation.
High demand on system slows restoration times
Approximately 1,600 customers remained without power Sunday evening after about 7,000 were disrupted earlier in the day as winter weather blew across the state. Forecasts call for even more extreme temperatures, sleet, and snow this week, with an unprecedented demand for electricity likely.

Replacing 38 broken poles, along with all the collateral storm damage, is a huge undertaking. We're at about 4,600 outages to carry over into Sunday, down from a peak of nearly 20,000 early this morning. The largest numbers of remaining outages are in the Camden and Warren areas. https://t.co/K2Yx1onAsi
