The big picture: Nearly 1 million people in Louisiana lost electricity as Hurricane Ida made landfall as a Category 4 storm last week.

Power has been restored for approximately 225,000 customers in the five days since the storm, per the company’s press release.

More than 25,000 workers from 40 states have been deployed to assess damage from Ida — which includes approximately 14,000 damaged poles, more than 2,200 broken transformers and more than 150 destroyed transmission structures.
