ida knocks out transmission sources into new orleans

  • as a result of hurricane ida’s catastrophic intensity, all eight transmission lines that deliver power into the new orleans area are currently out of service. when this occurred, it caused a load imbalance in the area and resulted in generation in the area coming offline.
  • we are currently working to assess damage and identify a path forward to restore power, to those who can take it, in the area.
  • we have provided back-up generation to the new orleans sewerage and water board.

  • power will not be restored this evening, but we will continue work to remedy.
