In the wake of historic winter weather conditions in Louisiana, Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans are proud to share the results of extensive preparation and response efforts during the event.
Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans remain dedicated to ensuring the safety of customers and restoring power as quickly and safely as possible.
Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans continue to actively monitor the frigid temperatures and winter precipitation expected to move through the region early next week.
Entergy’s Louisiana storm team has restored power to virtually all customers who can safely receive electric service after the impact of Hurricane Francine.
At this time, fewer than 15,000 customers in southeast Louisiana remain without power after Hurricane Francine brought strong winds and heavy rain to the state.
Entergy's Louisiana storm team is made up of not only field workers but also many employees and contractors working behind the scenes at command centers across the state, including the Distribution Operations Center in Baton Rouge. These often unseen team members play a crucial role in ensuring that restoration efforts run smoothly and that lineworkers can operate safely.
Entergy expects to restore power to 95% of all customers in Louisiana who lost electric service following Hurricane Francine and can safely receive it by this evening.
Entergy crews, contractors and mutual-aid workers are using every available tool to make repairs in and around marshes, rivers and other hard-to-reach locations.
