Company offers more restoration updates

PINEVILLE, La. – Sept. 2, 2021 (12 p.m.) – As of noon today, Cleco has restored power to nearly 30,000 of the roughly 97,000 customers in St. Tammany Parish who lost electricity after Hurricane Ida.

“We’re making progress, but we continue to find damage to our distribution equipment,” said Clint Robichaux, manager of distribution operations support.  “Our distribution damage numbers have increased since yesterday.  And while our initial damage assessment will be complete by end of day today, we will likely continue to find damage as the restoration effort progresses.”
