entergy louisiana restoration morning update – sept. 3
09/03/2020
crews continue to make significant progress in repairing the entergy louisiana electric system in order 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.
repairs to our distribution system are underway and crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore electrical service to homes and businesses that can safely receive power. however, they continue to face significant obstacles to rebuild our transmission system, which was heavily damaged by laura.
outages are down to approximately 110,900 as of noon thursday, down from a peak of more than 270,000 outages.
for customers in calcasieu and cameron parishes, restoring power may take longer than expected as a result of extensive damage to transmission lines serving the area. we have found damage to approximately 1,000 transmission structures, 6,600 broken poles, 338 miles of wire and nearly 3,000 transformers. due to this 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.
in the jennings area there are approximately 3,257 customers who remain out of power. there are approximately 1,700 customers being served from a substation that is not re-energized and will remain without power until the transmission line serving that area, which was catastrophically damaged, can be rebuilt.
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.
