Electricity restored to Conoco's La. refinery

HOUSTON, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Power has been restored at ConocoPhillips's (COP.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) Alliance refinery in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, 10 days after Hurricane Gustav disrupted electric service to a dozen refineries, utility Entergy Corp (ETR.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Thursday.

On its website, Entergy said power had been restored to all 12 refineries affected by Gustav.

Conoco's Alliance was the only plant without the power needed to restart, Conoco and government officials have said.
