Entergy Texas crews have been working around the clock to restore power after a winter storm brought ice, rain, and freezing temperatures to Southeast Texas over the weekend. Despite the challenging conditions, more than 99% of the company’s 538,000 customers had power restored within 24 hours of the storm’s initial impact. As of Monday afternoon, fewer than 800 customers remained without service, and restoration efforts continued. The company emphasized the complexities of power restoration during cold weather, advising customers to turn off major appliances during outages to prevent cold load pickup when electricity is restored. Entergy Texas operates within the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) region and is closely monitoring grid conditions to ensure continued reliability.
