The “vast majority” of properties without power in Northern Ireland will have it restored on Sunday, crews have advised.
There were 3,000 properties still without power on Sunday morning, as crews from NIE Networks continued their clean-up from Storm Amy.
At the peak, the storm caused a loss of supply to approximately 65,000 customers.
Alex Houston, NIE Networks operations manager, said his team was doing its “very best to get as many as possible reconnected today”.
He said: “At this stage we would encourage anyone who has not yet reported their power cut to contact the customer centre on 03457 643 643 so we can ensure all faults are reported and in the restoration process.”
Mostly cloudy & dry today with just well scattered light showers. Patchy light rain or drizzle will move in from the northwest through the evening.️
Highs of 12 to 15 C with moderate to fresh westerly winds, backing southwesterly in the evening.
