Entergy Texas Continues Storm Restoration
EAST TEXAS April 15, 2019 - Entergy has brought in approximately 300 employees and contractors to help in the restoration effort from storms that devastated the Entergy Texas service area. At 4 p.m., approximately 6,000 customers are without power. Crews are restoring power as safely and quickly as possible. About 3,000 customers in Bremond, Kosse, Calvert currently without power are waiting on transmission line repairs to be completed, so they can have power restored. Once the transmission line is repaired, these customers should have power – most likely overnight. In addition, all but about 600 customers in Franklin could also receive power overnight. The remaining customers who can take power should be restored by 8 p.m. tomorrow. Crews are working to assess the number of customers whose properties are so badly damaged that they will not be able to have their power restored. About 90 percent of the customers in Trinity and Madisonville areas should have power by 3 p.m. tomorrow. Depending on what is found in the field, the estimated time of restoration could be pushed back to later for some customers. As with any weather event, please be mindful of the following safety tips:
