Update: Power Restored to More Than 34,000 Entergy Mississippi Customers
04/15/2020
Entergy Mississippi crews have made steady storm restoration progress since Easter Sunday. Power has been restored to more than 34,000 customers. As of 7 p.m., about 6,000 customers remain without power, down from a peak of nearly 41,000. We expect to restore most customers who can safely take power by late tonight. Some outages will carry over through Thursday evening, especially in the hardest-hit areas of Carroll, Coahoma, Grenada, Leflore, Montgomery, Panola, Sunflower, Tallahatchie and Yalobusha counties.
Our scouts have identified 427 broken poles, 890 spans of wire down, and damage to 94 transformers throughout our service area. We have more than 1,150 field workers, contractors and support staff assisting with our restoration efforts. As service is restored in parts of our territory, we are reassigning crews to areas still without power.
We remain focused on safety. As we restore service, we continue to maintain our additional safety precautions adopted due to COVID-19 pandemic. For your safety and theirs, please continue to provide our utility workers with the space needed to complete restoration work. Do not approach utility workers at a job site. Our work sites can be dangerous locations and interruptions will slow our workers’ progress.
We urge customers to also maintain safety at home. You can find safety information and emergency tips at the Entergy Storm Center.
