An estimated 1,500 homes across the north remain without power on Monday morning following Storm Darragh.
NIE Networks is continuing to work to restore power to customers following damage caused to the electricity network by winds of up to 70mph.
The storm led to around 95,000 customers in total being without power across the weekend.
Emergency crews have worked through the night from Sunday into Monday to restore power, and details of areas still impacted are available on the NIE Networks website.
It is estimated that the vast majority of customers will be restored by Monday evening, but a small number of households will remain without power until Tuesday.
Meanwhile, householders still without power can attend community assistance centres offered on Monday by NIE Networks between 12noon and 2pm, and later from 5pm to 7pm.
The centres will provide warm drinks along with charging and changing facilities.
They are located at Craigavon’s South Lake Leisure Centre; Ballymena’s Seven Towers Leisure Centre; Ballymoney’s Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre; Omagh Leisure Centre; Kilkeel Leisure Centre; Dungannon Leisure Centre; and Donaghadee Community Centre
An NIE Networks spokesperson said: “Anyone who requires electricity for medical care will also be able to sign up to the NIE Networks Medical Customer Care Register.
“In addition, around 150 NIE Networks employees will be on the ground across Northern Ireland providing welfare visits starting with those on their Medical Customer Care Register.”
They added: “The public are reminded to stay clear of any damaged electricity equipment, keep children and animals away and to report any incidents of damage immediately to the NIE Networks Customer Helpline on 03457 643 643.”
