Power is due to be restored to all customers affected by Storm Éowyn on Tuesday night, ESB Networks has said.
On Sunday, about 700 customers were still without power more than two weeks after Storm Éowyn hit.
Services across more than 768,000 homes, farms, schools and businesses were affected following the storm.
“All remaining affected customers will have their power restored tonight,” it said in a statement on Tuesday evening.
“Given the extensive damage to the electricity network and the volume of repairs completed, we are asking that if customers have not previously reported loss of power to please contact us.”
It also warned the public to remain vigilant to the possibility of unidentified low hanging wires and to avoid them should they be encountered.
The statement marks an end to a prolonged period of power outages across much of the country in the wake of the extreme weather event.
ESB Networks had scrambled all available crews and resources, as well as partner contractors and international support in order to restore power as anger mounted among those left cut off.
Technicians had come in from Austria, Finland, the UK, Germany and Norway to assist in the worst affected areas. They supplemented about 2,500 local ESB crews and partner contactors as well as retied workers.
Storm Éowyn broke wind records in a number of locations with hurricane-force speeds when it hit on January 24th. According to the Marine Institute, the extreme conditions also brought waves of up to 20 metres in height, “almost the length of a tennis court”.
The fallout prompted anger in rural areas where residents were forced to make do without supply, and prompted national debate about the infrastructure.
Last week it emerged insurance claims resulting from the storm were expected to reach as much as €200 million, according to early estimates by the insurance industry.
