NIE Networks are still working to restore electricity to about 1,500 customers following Storm Darragh.<\/p>\n

About 95,000 homes in Northern Ireland were without power at some point over the weekend due to the strong winds.<\/p>\n

Several community assistance centres will be opened on Monday afternoon and evening to help those still without power.<\/p>\n

Based out of leisure centres, they will offer warm drinks, charging and changing facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The centres are due to open between 12:00 GMT and 14:00 and then again between 17:00 and 19:00.<\/p>\n

NIE Networks estimates that the vast majority of customers will be restored by Monday evening, though small pockets could remain off supply into Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The Energy Networks Association, which represents energy networks in the UK, said as of 19:00 GMT on Sunday about 118,000 customers were without power.<\/a><\/p>\n

The association said 1.8 million people have already been reconnected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
