When Hurricane Ida’s catastrophic and damaging winds left more than 900,000 customers without power across southeast Louisiana, Entergy Gas customers in New Orleans and Baton Rouge were able to use an alternative means to power their needs.
Following Hurricane Ida making landfall near Port Fourchon, Louisiana on Aug. 29, Entergy Corporation announced today its utilities have restored power to approximately 932,000 customers, which is 98% of customers affected by the storm.
To help small business, commercial and industrial customers recover from Hurricane Ida, Entergy New Orleans’ Energy Smart Program has launched the Hurricane Ida Recovery Fund.
As crews continue to work on restoring service to customers affected by Hurricane Ida, Entergy Corporation employees are teaming up with nonprofits and partners both local and from across the country to help those who have been impacted.
Hurricane Ida’s swift and mighty path brought extreme devastation as it made landfall as a strong Category 4 storm. We know each storm is unique, and this was most certainly the case with Ida.
Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans are continuing to monitor and plan for the potential impacts of Tropical Storm Nicholas as it travels towards the northwestern Gulf in the coming days.
After less than two weeks, our workforce has restored more than 85% or 804,500 of the 948,000 total customers who lost power due to Hurricane Ida, one of the most destructive hurricanes in history.
