Southeast Louisiana Experiences Controlled Power Reduction Amid Region's Surge in Energy Demand Southeast Louisiana experienced a deliberate power reduction Sunday, leaving approximately 25,000 Cleco customers in St. Tammany Parish without electricity. Cleco officials are currently examining the factors that led to the extraordinary surge in energy demand that prompted the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) to initiate the controlled brownout. The action was necessary to alleviate stress on the regional power grid and avert a broader, more prolonged blackout. Jennifer Cahill, a Cleco spokesperson, explained that when electricity demand surpasses supply, deliberate, temporary power interruptions become necessary to safeguard grid stability. “We took the unusual step, as instructed by MISO, to implement controlled outages affecting customers in areas including Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Lacombe, and Franklinton,” Cahill stated. Those affected were without power for roughly two hours. While Cleco typically aims to provide customers with prior notification of planned outages, Cahill acknowledged that the urgency of the situation precluded advance warning. Cleco and MISO are collaborating to determine the root cause of Sunday’s event and to implement measures to prevent recurrence. This includes ongoing system monitoring and a joint investigation into the circumstances that triggered the power reduction.
