At this time, fewer than 15,000 customers in southeast Louisiana remain without power after Hurricane Francine brought strong winds and heavy rain to the state. ��

All customers who can safely receive power in St. James and St. John parishes are anticipated to be restored today while those in the hardest-hit Terrebonne Parish are anticipated to be restored by tomorrow evening.

With damage assessments nearing completion, scouts have identified damage to nearly 815 utility poles, over 190 transformers, approximately 1,300 spans of distribution wire and more than 650 crossarms that require repair or replacement.

The geography of southeast Louisiana poses unique challenges for utilities, but our dedicated crews have been using ��to safely and efficiently carry out repairs.

Customers without power and using portable generators are urged to use them safely and according to the manufacturer guidelines. Please do not use portable generators indoors or near windows, and please do not connect them directly to the wiring of your home as that can send electricity back onto the grid and create a dangerous situation for utility workers trying to restore power.

Be aware of scams

Customers are urged to remain on alert as natural disasters also increases scam attempts. Remember, Entergy will never demand immediate payment from customers over the phone. If a call sounds suspicious, hang-up and call 1-800-ENTERGY (800-368-3749) to speak directly with an Entergy customer service representative.

Using every tool at their disposal, Entergy Louisiana’s storm team of about 8,000 continues to simultaneously assess damage and restore power.

With assessments nearly completed, scouts have identified damage to nearly 650 utility poles, over 150 transformers and approximately 1,125 spans of distribution wire that require repair or replacement.

Estimated restoration times

While many customers will have power restored sooner, Entergy Louisiana expects to have most of its customers who can safely receive service restored by Sunday night.

Estimated restoration times will depend on the severity of the damage in each area. This is reflected in the parish-by-parish breakdown below. Coastal areas, including Assumption, Lafourche, and Terrebonne parishes, experienced some of the strongest winds, and restoration in these communities will take longer.

Significant strides continue to be made as Entergy’s storm team safely restores power after Hurricane Francine. As of 9 a.m., power has been brought back to nearly 90% of the 300,000 customers who lost power and can safely receive it.

At this time, approximately 35,000 customers remain without power across southeast Louisiana, with most being in the River Parishes and coastal communities of Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes that saw the strongest winds and rainfall.

Entergy Louisiana’s storm team of around 8,000 workers continue to work simultaneously to safely assess damage and restore power.

With 80% of the system assessed as of Saturday morning, scouts found approximately 525 utility poles, nearly 125 transformers and over 900 spans of distribution wire damaged and in need of repair or replacement.

The geography of southeast Louisiana can present challenges for utilities, but our dedicated crews are utilizing every available tool to safely make repairs and restore power. Distribution poles are often located in marshes, swamps, rivers, heavily wooded areas and other hard-to-reach places. To overcome these obstacles, crews are using helicopters and drones to identify damage, airboats and marsh buggies to navigate waterways and rear-alley machines to access tight spaces in residential areas.

As of 10 a.m., approximately 104,000 customers remain without power across southeast Louisiana, with the coastal communities of Lafourche, Terrebonne, Assumption and Ascension parishes that saw the strongest winds being particularly hard hit.

The combined storm team for Entergy New Orleans and Entergy Louisiana has grown to more than 8,100 workers, including scouts, lineworkers, tree trimmers and support personnel. They are working simultaneously to assess damage and restore power where it is safe to do so.

Damage assessments are underway and expected to be completed by the end of day tomorrow in the hardest-hit areas farther south where access is more challenging.��As of this morning, teams have identified 258 damaged or broken poles, 474 spans of wire (a span being the length of power line between poles) and 63 transformers. Those numbers are anticipated to increase as more assessments are completed in the hardest-hit regions that were in Hurricane Francine’s direct path.��

To overcome these obstacles, crews are using helicopters and drones to identify damage, airboats and marsh buggies to navigate waterways and rear-alley machines to access tight spaces in residential areas.

At the transmission level, crews have also made progress, with 70% of affected transmission line sections back in service. On Friday, a Black Hawk helicopter equipped with a grapple hook was deployed to remove trees from transmission lines near Sorrento in Ascension Parish. Today, it will be used for similar work in Napoleonville. Crews are also focused on restoring two substations, one in Gonzales and another in lower Terrebonne Parish, as well as six transmission line segments.

Approximately 400 programmable devices are being deployed at around 275 strategic locations throughout the distribution system. These devices introduce automation to the electric grid, allowing it to maintain power during temporary impacts, such as those caused by falling tree limbs or animal contact. This approach is particularly effective in areas with dense vegetation, like Hammond, and can help reduce both the frequency and duration of outages.

The use of these programmable devices not only enhances service reliability but also improves operational efficiency. By reducing the need for bucket truck dispatches, Entergy Louisiana can allocate resources more effectively, allowing servicemen to focus on other essential tasks.

In addition to the deployment of these devices, Entergy Louisiana crews are carrying out extensive system upgrades in areas like Ponchatoula. On Esterbrook Road, for instance, nearly 100 utility poles are being replaced, around three miles of power lines are being upgraded with added capacity for future growth and reclosers—a smart device that functions similarly to the programmable devices—are being installed. These enhancements are expected to be completed by mid-September.

Entergy Louisiana remains committed to continuous improvement of its power grid. Whether it is through tree trimming, vegetation management or infrastructure upgrades, the company’s efforts to strengthen the grid are ongoing and vital to ensuring reliable service for all customers.
