C&L Electric Outage Update 8:00am Friday
February 3rd, 2023 by Submitted
Transmission lines owned and maintained by our energy provider are de-energized and currently being repaired by that provider. C&L does not own or maintain this transmission therefore we cannot provide detailed timing for restoration. Once transmission is repaired and our substations are energized, we will be able to better estimate restoration times for specific areas on our system.
We understand this is frustrating and causes hardships for our members, but as stated in our previous updates, please plan for a multi-day outage.
To speed up the restoration process to your home, examine your weatherhead, meter box, and conduit from our service line into your home. If damage is found, call an electrician to make necessary repairs so that you will be ready to receive energy once power is restored.
Thank you for your patience as we work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

Entergy 6 pm Update
February 2nd, 2023 by Joe Burgess
The final line of severe winter weather produced ice of up to half an inch in the southern half of the state resulting in approximately 53,000 customer outages at peak today. Most of the outages are attributed to ice on trees and limbs, causing them to fall onto power lines. There are nearly 350 workers in and around the Drew, Bradley, and Dallas County areas. So far we have found 53 broken poles, 107 spans of wire down and several other locations with damage. Some customers in the Warren and Monticello areas will be restored tonight. It is likely that service to customers in areas with the greatest damage may not be restored until late into Saturday. Our crews and scouts are continuing to assess and restore service when it is safe to do so. We ask for your patience, and please know restoring your power safely and quickly is our top priority. We want to keep you informed. The best way to get information about outages is via Entergy’s view outage page.
