According to Entergy Louisiana, customers in St. James and St. John the Baptist parishes are expected to have power restored by Sunday, Sept. 15.
Entergy Louisiana officials say they expect most customers to have power restored by Saturday evening, with a few parishes expected to receive power on Sunday and Terrebonne Parish expected to have power by Monday.
The list of estimated power restoration times by parish as of Saturday at 5 p.m. is as follows:
Jefferson | September 14, 10 p.m. |
Ascension | September 14, 10 p.m. |
St. John the Baptist | September 14, 10 p.m. |
St. James | September 14, 10 p.m. |
Tangipahoa | September 14, 10 p.m. |

St. Helena | September 15, 10 p.m. |
Lafourche | September 15, 10 p.m. |
Terrebonne | September 16, 10 p.m. |
The estimated restoration times denote when 90% of a given parish are expected to have power again.
Parishes covered by Entergy that are not listed have had their power “essentially” restored, meaning that at least 95% of customers are capable of safely receiving service.
Entergy officials say that if power to your neighborhood has been restored, but your electricity is still out, you may have electrical damage. For information about a home’s electrical system, visit Entergy’s webpage on it.
