our service territory has been hit with multiple rounds of winter precipitation over the past two weeks. the last round of severe winter weather and freezing rain produced ice of up to half an inch within areas in the southern region of the state, resulting in approximately 53,000 customer outages at the peak thursday afternoon. currently 22,800 customers are without power.
entergy arkansas has safely restored approximately 76,000 customer outages since monday and 150,000 in the past two weeks, as multiple winter storms have hit the state.
we are approximately 85% assessed. we expect to be completed with assessing remaining damages by noon tomorrow. with the support of a helicopter and drone teams in the air today, we have identified 205 broken poles, 997 spans of downed wire, 22 damaged transformers, and other damaged equipment. most outages are attributed to ice accumulating on trees and tree limbs, causing them to fall onto power lines. as ice melted, ice and more tree branches fell, making conditions dangerous for our workers and the public. view photos of restoration work, trees on power lines and other damage here.
an estimated 2,800 workers are working to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. this includes additional resources that have come to arkansas from other states to assist with restoration efforts, including scouts, vegetation crews, electricians, track equipment and more.
we want to keep you informed. the best way to get information about outages is via entergy’s view outage page on our website.

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.
