entergy louisiana hurricane ida update – 9/26/21
09/26/2021
entergy’s storm crew of nearly 9,000 resources remains on system working to restore the remaining approximately 500 customers that are able to safely receive power, as well as making power available to customers in the most devastated areas. although thousands of customers in the hard-hit bayou region are unable to take power at this time, our crews are continuing to rebuild our facilities, and we will be working with fema to make power available to temporary housing for those customers. in lafourche parish, in total, approximately 3,700 customers remain out, but the majority are currently unable to safely receive power due to the devastating effects of hurricane ida. crews continue to restore power in the port fourchon, golden meadow and galliano areas so that power is available when our customers are ready. in terrebonne parish, approximately 500 customers remain without power in total. the majority of those remaining customers are in the southern portion of the parish where a rebuild of our system is required. in the lower portion of jefferson parish, there remains approximately 3,000 customers without power, with the majority of those customers in the grand isle area. crews are in the area rebuilding transmission and distribution infrastructure to restore power as safely and quickly as possible. we remain committed to restoration until the last customer has lights.
as we continue to rebuild alongside our communities in southeast louisiana, we ask our customers and the public to please stay safe where work is taking place. avoid distractions and downed electric equipment. also be aware of traffic controllers as they work to manage congestion on the roads.
we would like to remind our customers, that if you live in a neighborhood that has had power restored but you don’t have power at your home, you are likely to have electrical damage. if you are without power, check for damage to the electrical equipment attached to your home or business and contact an electrician to make repairs. if your electric equipment appears undamaged, text out to 36778 or call 1-800-9outage. be especially careful inspecting your house in a neighborhood where power has been restored, because the wires will be live. be smart, be safe and call a licensed electrician to check it out for you. sometimes damage can be subtle. for example, your meter may be pulled off of your house by only a couple of inches and that can be hard to detect. remember, a licensed electrician’s inspection of your property’s electric wiring may be needed before entergy can restore power to a home or business that has water damage from rain or flooding.
customers should keep in mind that just because power is available does not mean their home can safely accept it. residents should check for damage to the electrical equipment attached to their home or business and contact an electrician to make any needed repairs. for information regarding electrical equipment on a home, please visit //www.dcsportsinc.com/storm-center/weatherhead/. if damage has been repaired by a qualified electrician, customer should call 1-800-entergy to generate a service reconnection work order.
