As part of our preparations, we are incorporating needed precautions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During a pandemic a power outage could be catastrophic. So, it is vital to keep the health crisis from hitting the front lines of a utility company’s workforce.
These are unprecedented times for all of us, and at Entergy Louisiana we take the health, safety and security of our customers, communities, employees and business partners very seriously. We are committed to powering our customers and communities regardless of the circumstance.
