About 8,500 homes and businesses in the New England North West lost power during Thursday's storm, Essential Energy has revealed.
Essential Energy crews worked into Thursday evening and throughout Friday to restore power as quickly as safety has allowed for customers.
"Additional crews and equipment were brought into the worst affected areas, with the wider Moree area being one of those," an Essential Energy spokesperson said.
"A helicopter has also being used throughout the day to assist with power restoration efforts."
Power has now been restored to the 193 affected customers in the wider Weena area.
Crews are now working to restore power to the remaining 71 homes and businesses in the wider Moree area.
"While power will be restored to the majority of those customers still affected by an unplanned power outage today, a small number of customers will remain without power overnight due to issues with accessing the electricity network as a result of ground conditions," the spokesperson said.
"Crews will continue to work on Saturday to restore power for all customers.
"Essential Energy thanks customers for their understanding."

In Moree town itself, there are currently seven customers, across seven different jobs, still experiencing an unplanned power outage.
