Entergy outages plunge over 100k into darkness Memorial Day weekend
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) — Over 100,000 Entergy customers across southeast Louisiana lost power Sunday afternoon following a large-scale outage that began around 4:30 p.m., according to the utility’s outage map.
The bulk of the outages were reported on the East Bank of New Orleans and in parts of Jefferson Parish.
Entergy released a statement stating the outage is due to a load-shedding order and a controlled power cut from the regional power grid operator, MISO.
“Entergy New Orleans is currently subject to a load-shed order from MISO; approximately 52,000 customers are impacted. Our crews will work as quickly and safely as possible to restore service, as soon as we are clear to do so. Estimated time of restoration is unclear at this time, pending further updates from MISO.”
