Mississippi Power, a subsidiary of Southern Company, provides much of the power used in southeast MS including the coast. They have been emailing all city officials throughout the state with daily updates on the latest information on how the effort to restore power is going.
The latest email received from them said, "Service was restored to more than 13,000 customers Sunday and we were able to re-energize several additional substations, including Picayune, Bay St. Louis, Waveland, Richton, Poplarville, Shubuta, and Carriere."
They divide the area of coverage in MS into three areas: Coast, Pine Belt, and Meridian. As of yesterday their progress in restoring power to those three districts were:
Coast 22,281 30%
Pine Belt 23,534 40%
Meridian 28,503 76%
