crews continue to make significant restoration progress after hurricane laura impacted entergy’s electrical system across louisiana. damage assessments, debris removal and repairs and rebuilding of the electrical system is ongoing. as of 7 a.m. monday, approximately 115,000 louisiana customers have been restored.
in louisiana, damage assessments are nearly complete; however, the remaining assessments will be more difficult due to the extensive damage. in the hardest-hit areas of lake charles, calcasieu and cameron parishes, approximately 5,648 poles, 10,037 spans of wire and 2,484 transformers were damaged.
all customers who can safely receive power in the jennings area should be restored by later today.
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.
- whether you shelter in place or evacuate, you should prepare to protect your home.
- decide to stay or go well before the storm strikes.
