IMPORTANT WINTER STORM UPDATE

Historic cold weather continues to impact the state and Entergy Mississippi needs your help. During extremely cold weather, the electric load increases significantly in comparison to “normal” cold weather conditions.

While we are working hard to address any power problems that occur, please take action now to help keep the power flowing. Reduce the strain on the electric system by immediately implementing safe energy conservation efforts, if possible.

Lower the central thermostat to 68 degrees or lower if possible.
Don’t allow warm air to escape from the home.
Delay laundry, washing dishes, bathing and other non-essential uses of electricity.
Wash clothes with cold water, cook foods at the lowest possible setting and limit opening oven doors while baking.
Turn off or don’t use non-essential lights and electric appliances.

Doing your part to conserve energy will prevent unwanted, forced outages that are occurring around the country during this winter storm. It can also reduce the consumption on your electric bill.
