Below is a press release from Mississippi Public Service Commissioner Brent Bailey:
Central District Public Service Commissioner Brent Bailey is hosting a community forum in Madison County to discuss utility services following the severe storm events in June, which caused widespread power outages, and any other questions or concerns utility customers may have about their services.
Commissioner Bailey will provide a brief overview of the Commission’s mission and how it works to ensure that public utility services are delivered efficiently, reliably and affordably. Additionally, the Commissioner will share more information received through the Commission’s comprehensive review of Entergy Mississippi, LLC’s restoration efforts in response to the June 2023 storms. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with utility representatives who are present for the forum.
The forum will take place on Tuesday, September 12, starting at 6pm at the Pinelake Church campus located at 223 Old Jackson Road in Madison. (Link to flyer)

We hope to discuss ideas and receive feedback about how best to communicate before, during and after extreme weather events and enhance customer service for all.”
