PBF Energy's 190,000 b/d Chalmette refinery in Louisiana began powering up parts of its refinery last night as local utilities continue work to restore the state's battered power grid.

Regional utility Entergy said this morning that it expects to get power restored to the area surrounding PBF Chalmette by 7 September.

The refinery began receiving a "limited amount of electricity" to a small, unspecified section of its facilities last night, but the grid is not yet ready to support full operations.

"We will continue to work with Entergy to restore power as more of their system gets up and running," the company told Argus today. "However, we are unable to provide a forecast on restoration to a full load."

The refinery lost power on 29 August during Hurricane Ida's landfall.
