Crews continue to make progress, successfully restoring power to nearly 60% of customers impacted by Hurricane Beryl

Entergy Texas crews continue making progress and have successfully restored power to nearly 60% of the 252,460 customers impacted by the storm. As of 1 p.m. Thursday, approximately 149,400 customers have been restored.

Many of the remaining outages are in heavily damaged areas requiring extensive repairs. Damage assessments are still ongoing, but recent reports show 407 downed poles, 202 damaged transformers, 614 broken crossarms, and approximately 657,000 feet of wire needing replacement.

Entergy Texas has a restoration team of more than 2,400 working around the clock on repairs, and special equipment like helicopters are being used to access hard-hit areas. While some customers could be restored sooner, the estimated restoration chart below shows the estimated restoration dates based on current damage assessments and weather forecasts.

Customers should note that occasionally the company will restore power to an area only to find another issue. This may require turning power off again in order to complete additional repairs. Crews will also make initial repairs in some areas in order to get the power flowing to as many customers as possible. Crews then have to go back, take customers out of service, and complete more long-term repairs. To learn more about Entergy Texas’ restoration process, visit the Entergy Storm Center.
