As of 1:15 p.m., we have 3,528 outages, with the majority of those in DeSoto County.

Entergy Mississippi Winter Storm Update – 2/3/22, 11:30 a.m.

We’ve been monitoring the winter weather over the past several days and are ready to respond to any outages.  Our initial forecast indicated a storm that was going to primarily be north and west of our service area, but the weather has slipped further to the south over the past day.  We’ve relocated the majority of our baseload contractors to Cleveland, Senatobia and Tunica, and have acquired non-baseload contractors that will be located in Southaven.  Additionally, two Entergy Mississippi teams from the south half of the state are moving to the area today.  We’re beginning to see some ice accumulation, and as of 11:20 Thursday morning we have approximately 6,890 customers out statewide with the majority of those being in Desoto County.
