Entergy Mississippi urges customers to prepare for active hurricane season /stormcenter/entergy-mississippi-urges-customers-to-prepare-for-active-hurricane-season Thu, 29 May 2025 20:19:07 +0000 /?p=17991 Season begins after crews restore more than 86,000 weather-related outages

JACKSON, Miss. –With the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season officially beginning on June 1, Entergy Mississippi is encouraging customers to take proactive steps to prepare for more severe weather and potential power outages. The season follows a stormy two weeks in the company’s service area, where consecutive weather events caused repeated outages. Beginning Sunday, May 19 through Wednesday, May 28, crews restored power to more than 86,000 storm related outages.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administrationan above-average hurricane season, anticipating 13 to 19 named storms, six to ten hurricanes, and up to five major hurricanes reaching Category 3 strength or higher. This prediction underscores the importance of early preparation.

To enhance the resilience of our energy grid, Entergy Mississippi continues to invest in infrastructure improvements, including upgrading existing systems, implementing vegetation management, and deploying smart grid technologies. These efforts aim to minimize storm-related outages and ensure reliable service.

However, past drought conditions and evolving weather events continue to make dead trees outside of the right of way a threat to the electrical grid. Comparing the first quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of the last three years, outages caused by fallen trees are up by 80%. Of those outages, majority were caused by issues outside of Entergy Mississippi’stree-trimming process. Customers are encouraged to consider how different tree species may affectpower lines.

“Reliability is a critical component of our mission to serve customers during any weather event,” said Kamisha Quates, Entergy Mississippi vice president of reliability. “Our team works year-round to strengthen our grid and to respond quickly and safely when extreme weather occurs.”

Entergy Mississippi uses advanced modeling tools and historical data to project the potential impact of approaching storms. These insights help us deploy crews and resources strategically, so power restoration can begin as quickly as possible.

Customers withthat require electricity are especially encouraged to have a plan for extended outages, including relocation or a back-up power source.

Entergy Texas storm update – 5/28/25, 2 p.m. /stormcenter/entergy-texas-storm-update-5-28-25-2-p-m Wed, 28 May 2025 21:35:08 +0000 /?p=18055 Entergy Texas crews worked through the night to restore power to customers affected by severe storms that brought heavy rain, strong winds and lightning across Southeast Texas Tuesday. As of 2 p.m., approximately 2,900 customers are without power, which is down from the peak of 31,760 customers without power early Tuesday morning.

The majority of the remaining outages are in the Conroe area, where crews are repairing poles and equipment damaged by fallen trees and storm debris. In addition to standard bucket and pole trucks, teams are utilizing every tool available, like backyard machines, track machines and excavators to aid the restoration effort.

Overnight, crews successfully restored power to approximately 1,750 Conroe customers and will continue working throughout the day until all customers are restored.

Entergy Texas encourages customers to sign up for outage text alerts by texting REG to 36778 or through their myEntergy account. Customers who are already enrolled should ensure their contact information is up to date to receive timely updates.

More thunderstorms and heavy rain are forecast for Southeast Texas today and throughout the week. These conditions—including lightning, strong winds and saturated ground—may slow restoration in some areas. As long as weather conditions remain safe, crews will continue working to turn the lights back on as quickly as possible. Entergy Texas understands the challenges service interruptions can cause and appreciates the community for their continued patience and understanding.
