Improving conditions are allowing our restoration workers to increase the pace of restoration for our customers still without power.

Entergy Mississippi’s crews have made great progress restoring power to customers since yesterday. As of 8 a.m., power has been restored to more than 74,300 customers affected by last week’s winter weather.
