Entergy Louisiana Hurricane Delta Restoration Update – 10/14/20 @ 9 a.m.
10/14/2020
As of 9 a.m. Wednesday, crews have successfully restored power to over 300,000 customers who lost service following Hurricane Delta, which at its peak caused more than 320,000 outages for Entergy Louisiana customers.
Crews brought power back on to 96% of customers in just four days of restoration after the storm impacted southwest Louisiana.
Restoration teams are now honing in on the hardest-hit areas, where the vast majority of customers who can safely accept power are expected to be back on by Thursday. For a detailed community breakdown see below.
As the assessment process nears completion, our scouts have found damage to 971 poles, 356 transformers and 2,408 spans of wire.
As we continue to restore power, we want to ensure customers can accept power when it becomes available. Check for damage to the electrical equipment attached to your home or business and contact an electrician to make any needed repairs. For information on your home’s electrical equipment, visit our Storm Center site. If damage has been repaired by a qualified electrician, call 1-800-ENTERGY to generate a service-reconnection work order.
