Entergy is focusing its restoration efforts on about 3,400 customers who are able to safely take power. At its peak, the storm left approximately 704,000 customers in Louisiana without power. The majority of those customers are in lower Plaquemines Parish, where the restoration effort is very dynamic due to yesterday's high winds and the slow rate that water is receding. Restoration was hindered in Buras Wednesday when the area experienced heavy winds and rain with lightning and tornado warnings. Crews had to stop work and hunker down as the severe weather passed. Entergy currently has more than 600 workers dedicated to Plaquemines Parish. To maximize productivity and speed restoration, a staging site was established in Buras to house and feed crews. Entergy continues to work with parish officials and local law enforcement to develop access plans, which include moving equipment over levee tops. | |

The Supreme Court ruled PPL (PPL) can claim $39M in U.S. foreign tax credits against a 1997 British windfall tax and other utility companies, like Entergy (ETR) and American Electric Power (AEP), are in the same position, having been hit by the windfall tax after they acquired British utility companies that were later privatized, reported Reuters.
