while the peak from this week’s winter storms was 30,087 customer outages, entergy arkansas has restored more than 59,000 customers to service. a higher number of outages and restorations than the peak is not unusual during a multi-day event, as new power outages can happen as a result of continuing severe weather during repairs and restoration.
as of 4 p.m., statewide outages have been reduced to approximately 13,427 customers and continues to decline. there’s still a workforce of 2,100 engaged in restoration – from transmission and distribution line workers, logistics and managers to scouts and vegetation crews. we’ll continue working as long as conditions allow to restore power safely and swiftly.
the pine bluff area is expected to be restored by the end of the day, with the heaviest affected customers in the russellville area to be restored by the end of the day, saturday, and stuttgart area customers by the end of the day sunday. estimated restoration times for all other affected customers will be available tonight, and updates will be provided via the outage map as soon as crews can make those determinations. it is estimated that some outages in the hardest-hit areas may take a couple of days to restore. we ask for your patience, and please know that safely restoring your power is our top priority.

as with any weather event, please be mindful of the following safety tips:
- live wires can be deadly. stay away from downed power lines. call 1-800-9outage or 1-800-968-8243 to report downed or dangling power lines, damaged or downed poles or other damaged equipment.
- do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines. again, stay away from downed power lines.
- keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. there is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials, limbs or overhead wires falling to the ground.
- if you plan on using a generator for temporary power, get a licensed electrician and disconnect from the utility electric system before hooking up to your main electric panel.
- do not run a generator in a confined space without adequate ventilation. use them only outdoors, following all manufacturers’ safety guidelines.
- turn off any electrical appliances that can easily be turned to the off position until power is restored.
- check on seniors, who can be particularly susceptible to extreme temperatures.
- try to stay off the roads in affected areas. more traffic in bad weather leads to more accidents, including more injuries and fatalities as well as accidents that can damage electrical poles and other equipment, creating outages and impeding the ability of crews to access and repair damage and slowing restoration.
