Since the storm first hit around 8am yesterday morning, 93,000 homes and business in the Endeavour Energy network have had their power interrupted by this storm.
Of this, approximately 76,500 customers have had their power supply restored up till now.
There are 404 houses without power in Robertson and 248 houses in Burrawang.
While crews have been able to get power back to another 3,000 customers this morning, there is many hours of work to be completed before everyone is back on.
The focus of this morning's efforts has been to patrol the 1,150 electrical hazards caused by the torrential rain and damaging winds that continued unabated throughout yesterday and early this morning.
Regrettably more damage is being found now that there is a lull in the weather and more thorough inspections can be completed safely.
This work will be ongoing throughout today due to the scale of the storm damage across broad parts of the Endeavour Energy network.
Customers in areas where there is storm damage are reminded to always treat fallen powerlines and other damaged network infrastructure as live, and stay at least 8 metres clear.
Endeavour Energy is asking those customers still without power to be patient as we methodically work to safely restore their supply.
