Entergy Arkansas has taken a series of proactive pre-winter actions to prepare to serve our customers during extreme temperatures.
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.
Crews are ready to safely restore power to customers as quickly as possible.
The first major storm of the year hit Arkansas on Thursday, bringing arctic cold, heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain that posed challenges statewide but proved the resilience of Entergy Arkansas’ power grid and responsiveness of its storm team.
While the winter weather did cause outages to customers, Entergy Arkansas employees were able to quickly respond and minimize their duration, despite the treacherous road conditions.
Entergy Arkansas crews have successfully restored power to over 74% of customers within the first 24 hours of initial impact.
Entergy Arkansas crews are actively assessing damage and working strategically to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.
Entergy Arkansas remains storm ready 365 days out of the year, and we want our customers to be ready as well.
