More than 8,400 customers in Shreveport, Bossier and the surrounding areas remain without power after a severe thunderstorm swept through the region late Saturday afternoon. 

SWEPCO will host a free program celebrating Earth Day on Saturday, April 22 at 9:30 a.m. The event will be held at SWEPCO's Eagle Watch Nature Trail and will include the release of a red shouldered hawk.

The project spans approximately 2 miles and begins at the South Shreveport substation on La. Highway 3132 and continue along Linwood Avenue to its intersection with Flournoy Lucas Road. 

The company received two 2023 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Sustained Excellence awards from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.

The project spans approximately 3.2 miles and begins along Arkansas Highway 170 starting at the intersection of Clyde Carnes Road and extends south to the intersection with U.S. Highway 62.

Outages are primarily due to wet snow weighing down tree limbs that have interfered with power lines.

Estimated times of restoration have been determined for some areas of Texas and Louisiana.

As we continue to restore power to customers, we are asking those who have power to consider conserving where they can. 

Forecasts predict dangerous, below-freezing temperatures, high winds and some wintry precipitation across Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana. 

A power purchase agreement (PPA) will add 72.5 megawatts (MW) of solar energy.
