A yellow weather warning was in place until 9am, along with a flood warning for homes and businesses in coastal parts.
The greater Belfast area is believed to be the worst affected by the power cuts, with issues stretching to Newry and Magherafelt.

County Antrim Shield Semi-Final Postponed For A Second Time
The semi-final of the County Antrim Shield between Ballymena United and Linfield has been postponed for a second time due to adverse weather conditions.
The game was set to go ahead on Tuesday evening, 18 December, at the Ballymena Showgrounds but was called off following a pitch inspection.
It had originally been scheduled for Tuesday 27 November but was postponed after heavy rain left the Warden pitch waterlogged.
Ballymena's Premiership game against Institute on Saturday 15 December was also postponed following more rain, and the pitch remains unplayable.
