Hundreds of homes in the Highlands are without power as Storm Chandra caused flooding and widespread travel disruption across the UK.
Properties in the Lochaber area covered by SSEN were reporting power cuts from around 4pm.
The utility giant said the outage is weather related and that it was aiming to have electricity supplies connected by 1.30am tomorrow morning.
However a spokesman said travelling and underfoot conditions may have an impact on restoration times.
It is the second power cut to affect the area in a matter of weeks.
A spokesman from SSEN Distribution said: “We'd like to thank our customers for their patience as our teams work hard to restore supplies following the impact of Storm Chandra, and assure everyone that we're doing all we can to get their power back on as safely and as quickly as possible."
Storm Chandra caused travel disruption across Scotland with weather warnings for snow, strong winds and heavy rain in place for the southern and central parts of the country.
Ferries and flights have been cancelled and a number of roads shut with significant snow starting to affect routes around the country.
It is the third major storm to hit the UK this month after Goretti and Ingrid, which caused significant damage and disruption.
A yellow wind warning is in place for south-west Scotland until midnight and a another for rain and snow across much of central Scotland.
