SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Public Service Commission has conducted an investigation into Entergy's response to severe storms in June. The storms caused significant damage to the company's system in the Jackson metro area, with several problems identified in their response, including issues with their automated outage report system and communication challenges. Entergy has submitted a report to the Public Service Commission, acknowledging that they did not meet customer expectations and stating that they will use these experiences to improve their restoration practices. Central District Public Service Commissioner Brant Bailey is hosting community forums across Mississippi to discuss post-storm utility service, with the first discussion taking place tomorrow.
