(Next update planned Tuesday evening)

We have completed preliminary assessments and we’re revising our estimate to get final customers in the Gulf Coast region restored to Friday at 6 p.m.

Important clarification:

  • That estimate is to get the final customers on.
  • Some customers already have been restored today and we anticipate many more as the day progresses. 
  • Most customers will be restored before Friday at 6 p.m.

Please disregard estimates you see elsewhere. Our automated phone system will be updated soon to reflect the revised estimate.

We understand that you would prefer to a more specific estimate around which you can plan. While most of you will be restored earlier, please be prepared for the possibility of being out until Friday at 6 p.m.
