Entergy Texas Hurricane Beryl update – 7/16/24, 9:30 a.m.
07/16/2024
Nearly all customers restored after Hurricane Beryl caused widespread outages across Southeast Texas
The majority of Entergy Texas customers have been restored after hurricane-force winds and heavy rain from Hurricane Beryl caused widespread outages across Southeast Texas. As of 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, approximately 248,000 of the 252,460 customers impacted have been restored. All customers who can safely take power are expected to be restored before the end of day today.
Customers still experiencing an outage are encouraged to safely check for damage to the electrical equipment attached to their home or business. Entergy Texas cannot restore power to a location with a damaged meter base, conduit or weather head (the metal pipe extending upward from the structure with electrical cables inside). These items must be repaired by a qualified electrician before workers can start the restoration process. Entergy’s Storm Center provides a list of the electrical equipment the company will repair, and the equipment customers are responsible for repairing.
