Biggest Louisiana power outages since 2014

Statewide outage events recorded by DOE's EAGLE-I system since late 2014, with likely causes from NOAA storm reports

The largest power outage in Louisiana since 2014 (Aug 29 – Oct 1, 2021) left as many as 1,042,719 customers (43.15% of the state) without power at once, driven by Hurricane Ida. The next largest (Aug 27 – Sep 23, 2020) peaked at 613,350 customers (Hurricane Laura).

By EAGLE-I's count, Louisiana customers averaged about 28 hr 40 min without power per year from 2018 to 2025. The worst year was 2021, at 99 hr 42 min per customer.

Outages peak in September (43% of outage time). Outage time in Louisiana has fallen recently: about 10 hr 25 min per customer per year in 2022–2025, versus 46 hr 55 min in 2018–2021.
