Approximately 79% of the customers impacted have been restored, down from the peak outage that occurred at 6:15 a.m. this morning of 10,948 outages.

Since the peak outage count of 21,000 customer outages yesterday at 7 p.m., Entergy Arkansas has successfully restored power to 89 percent of customers impacted by the storms.

Entergy Arkansas crews made significant restoration progress overnight as lineworkers assessed damage and immediately got to work restoring 78 percent of customers in the first 12 hours.

Because our customers live in areas prone to some of the most severe weather in the country, we prepare for the worst of what Mother Nature might bring.

Entergy’s team deployed a new Entergy-owned helicopter for its inaugural patrol flights to help restore power to thousands of customers in the wake of severe storms that swept through the Gulf Coast region on March 15 and the more recent spring storms in Arkansas earlier this month.

Entergy Arkansas appreciates your patience as we have completed our restoration efforts resulting from multiple rounds of thunderstorms starting on April 2.

It has been another hard day for our line workers as they experienced more damage than expected with trees blocking access to our equipment and dealing with knee-deep water due to flooding in some areas.

Significant progress is being made by our Entergy Arkansas crews in restoring power to our customers who remain affected by the multiple rounds of severe weather this past weekend. The series of storms resulted in peak outages of 71,300 customers. As of 11 a.m. today, 11,200 outages remain, and we continue to work diligently and safely to restore your power.
