crews continue to make significant progress in safely repairing the entergy louisiana electric system to restore service to homes and businesses that can safely receive power. we have launched a new hurricane laura information website to provide customers with storm restoration and recovery updates. you can visit the site at entergy.com/hurricanelaura.
as of 7 a.m. saturday, less than 100,000 customers in louisiana were without power, down from a peak of about 270,900.
for customers in calcasieu and cameron parishes, restoring power may take longer than expected as a result of extensive damage to transmission infrastructure serving the area. we have found damage to approximately 1,000 transmission structures, 6,600 broken poles, 330 miles of downed distribution wire and nearly 2,900 transformers. due to the extensive damage, the transmission and distribution systems will require nearly a complete rebuild in this area. as more generation and transmission services are available in southwest louisiana, this should help improve our ability to finalize our restoration efforts.
along with standard storm preparations, entergy employees are navigating the covid-19 pandemic by taking additional steps. due to the added measures crews must take, restoration may take longer, especially where there are widespread outages. also, crews will continue to practice social distancing, and we ask that customers do the same. for their safety and yours, please stay away from work zones.
crews are focusing on restoring emergency services first and then will prioritize work to restore the greatest number of customers.

keep safety top priorty
there is no way to know if a downed line is energized or not, so if you see one, keep your distance and call 1-800-9outage (800-968-8243).
stay safe and away from downed power lines and flooded areas. do not walk in standing water and do not venture into areas of debris, since energized and dangerous power lines may not be visible.
customers choosing to use portable electric generators should do so in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. customers must never connect a generator directly to a building’s wiring without a licensed electrician disconnecting the house wiring from entergy’s service. otherwise, it can create a safety hazard for the customer or our linemen working to restore power. and it may damage the generator or the house wiring.
storm restoration process
following a storm, we deploy scouts to assess damage. our scouts work as quickly and safely as possible in sometimes very dangerous conditions. as damages are assessed, we will communicate with you the conditions found along with an estimated restoration time and our progress toward restoring your power. we can begin restoring service to customers by closing circuit breakers, rerouting power and other means, but we must wait until sustained winds are less than 30 mph to use our bucket trucks. we ask for your patience, and please know restoring your power safely and quickly is our top priority.
as we assess the damage, we will begin restoring service where it is deemed safe to do so.
your preparation is essential too:
- above all stay safe. a personal plan for you and your family is the best way to stay safe and be storm ready.
- visit the entergy storm center website for planning tools that can help guide you through the decisions you need to make.
