As of 17.20pm (Friday), ESB Networks has restored supply to 705,000 homes, farms and businesses – approx. 63,000 customers remain without supply, down from a peak of 768,000 following the unprecedented impact of Storm Éowyn.

Important Public Safety Message: ESB Networks is reinforcing its vital warning around public safety as we are into day seven of the restoration of supply following Storm Éowyn. We still have many faults on the electricity network and have been made aware of several instances of potentially very dangerous incidents where members of the public have unknowingly approached fallen electricity infrastructure, particularly in the worst impacted areas of the country. Following a significant weather event like Storm Éowyn, fallen debris can prevent people from seeing hidden risks such as wires entangled into trees and branches.  

If you come across fallen wires or damaged electricity network, never, ever touch or approach these as they are LIVE and extremely dangerous. Please report any damage to electricity infrastructure by calling 1800 372 999. 

Restoration work is continuing. In the areas with the largest number of faults, as we make progress to repair the extensive damage, some customers may see their Estimated Restoration Times change over the coming days. If you are in a position to visit www.PowerCheck.ie, Estimated Restoration Times will continue to be updated.
