Entergy will tack on another fee for this outage.

I love having cheap electric with energy deregulation in TX. Don't have to worry about adding fees for each outage. If they do, will simply choose from one of the other 63 providers.

Hoeo they get this fixed for live after 5 and the big game tomorrow.

Utility companies tend to give a longer estimate than it will actually take just in case something goes wrong.

If they give out an estimated time and it goes beyond that, the calls wouldn't stop until they get the problem fixed, but I bet they will be on by 4PM.

Much of downtown Baton Rouge lost power during the lunch hour and Entergy officials say the outage could last hours.

The heart of the Central Business District lost power around 12:40 p.m., says Entergy spokesman David Freese, after a “non-Entergy contractor” damaged an underground cable.

Entergy is currently assessing the damage, which will take hours to repair, says Freese, cautioning it’s impossible to provide an accurate restoration time until the assessment is complete.

Though City Hall is impacted, Chief Administrative Officer Darryl Gissel says the city-parish government building is operating on backup generators and will remain open.

City-parish officials urge caution traveling in the area as all traffic signals are down.
