Entergy Louisiana, LLC has restored power to customers in Louisiana who can safely receive it after extremely cold temperatures and back-to-back winter storms that brought freezing rain and ice significantly impacted the company’s electric system.
Warmer temperatures Saturday helped improve travel conditions for crews who are continuing to make significant progress restoring power where it is safe to do so after the second ice storm to cross Louisiana in less than a week heavily impacted the central and norther regions of the state.
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.
Entergy’s Louisiana storm crews are continuing to assess damage and restore power where it is safe to do so after a winter storm brought extremely cold temperatures, freezing rain and large amounts of ice accumulations to the state Sunday and throughout Monday.
Entergy Louisiana has started power outages for its customers across the southwestern portion of its service territory.
