Nearly 2,500 People Reported Without Power in New Orleans’ Mid-City
Nearly 2,500 people experienced a power outage in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans, according to Entergy outage maps.
New Orleans, LA, October 15, 2026 —
Nearly 2,500 people experienced a power outage in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans, according to Entergy outage maps. The available information identifies the affected neighborhood and an approximate number of people affected, but does not provide further details about the interruption.
The outage map figure is reported as “nearly 2,500,” rather than an exact count. No specific time or date for the outage was provided, and the information does not say when the map was checked. It also does not state how long the outage lasted or whether power was later restored.
The cause of the interruption was not provided. The available account does not identify equipment problems, weather, planned work or any other factor as responsible. It also does not include a statement from Entergy beyond the attribution to its outage maps.
Details about the outage’s boundaries within Mid-City were not provided. The information does not specify whether the estimate refers to individual customers, households or another measure, so the figure is described here as the number of people reported to have experienced the outage, as stated in the summary.
No information was provided about additional affected areas, reports of damage, or the response to the interruption. The outage map estimate is the only reported measure of its scale in the available information. Without a timestamp or follow-up update, the current status of the outage cannot be determined from that information.
