Updated: December 29, 2012
Saturday, 5:30 p.m. Update:
North Little Rock Electric sent the following message for its customers:

"NLRED has restored power to more than 19,000 customers since the Christmas winter storm began, using multiple crews and contractors. Power has been restored to over 99% of NLRED's customers as of 4 p.m. Saturday. While we are in the final phase of the power restoration process, it has proven time-consuming. The damage to infrastructure has required tree trimming, extensive removal of large mature trees and the rebuilding of utility poles and power lines. Crews will continue to work to restore power as quickly as possible.

Home owners who have had their service loop to their home damaged need to contact an electrician to make repairs before NLRED can restore power. NLRED asked that customers leave their porch lights on so crews can quickly determine if power is restored and make sure backyard gates can be easily accessed to repair damage.

Our automated Outage Reporting Line is available 24 hours a day and transmits your report immediately to NLRED's Outage Management System so we can investigate and repair the outage as soon as possible. The most efficient way to report an outage is by phone to the Outage Reporting Line - -1-888-728-4004 - and takes advantage of our automated outage reporting system. "
