Crews on track to restorepower to 90% of impacted customers by the end of day Sunday

As of 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Entergy Texas restoration crews have successfully restored power to approximately217,000 of the 252,460 customers impacted by Hurricane Beryl. Downed trees and other vegetation are the main cause of the remaining outages. The majority of customers are expected to be restored before the end of day Sunday. Customers in the most heavily impacted areas are still expected to be restored no later than Monday, July 15.

It's important to note that Entergy Texas restoration workers cannot restore power to a location with a damaged meter base, conduit or weather head (the metal pipe extending upward from the structure with electrical cables inside). These items must be repaired by a qualified electrician before workers can start the restoration process. Customers are encouraged to visit Entergy's Storm Center to learn moreabout the electrical equipment that serves their home.

As with any weather event, Entergy Texas encourages the community to be mindful of the following safety tips:

• Stay away from downed power lines. Call 1 800-9OUTAGE or 1-800-968-8243 to report downed or dangling power lines, damaged or downed poles or other damaged equipment.
• Do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. Only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines. Again, stay away from downed power lines.
• Keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working.There is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials, limbs or overhead wires falling to the ground.
• If you plan on using a generator for temporary power, get a licensed electricianand disconnect from the utility electric system before hooking up to your main electric panel.
