Over 100,000 customers are currently without power across New Orleans and Jefferson Parish due to a series of forced rolling outages implemented by Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans. Reports indicate that excessive demand has led to these outages, leaving families in the dark and raising concerns about the reliability of the power grid. Affected areas include Eastbank, St. Bernard Parish, and Metairie, where more than 70,000 customers were reported to have lost power. Despite the challenges, events like the Greek Festival are adapting by shifting to cash-only operations as they manage the situation. The utility companies have acknowledged the situation and are working to restore power, though uncertainty remains about when it will be fully restored.
