ESB and Eircom repair crews are battling to restore services to almost 14,000 customers cut off after storm damage.
ESB teams are striving to resume electricity supply to around 5,000 customers cut off by storms which damaged power lines across the country.
Over 65,000 customers who had been cut off were reconnected by yesterday.
The company says almost 1,000 faults remain with 5,000 homes and businesses without power - the majority in the south and south-west - but warned that progress may be slow in some cases.
Eircom technical teams are working to fix faults on their network which have left 8,700 customers without landline or broadband services.
Repair work yesterday was hampered by the poor weather conditions.
The number of customers without services rose by 500 since yesterday but Eircom said this was expected as more people got in contact to report faults.
Around 350 workers are now working to fix the faults with 700 on duty yesterday - the same number as will be working on Monday.
The ESB says it has diverted resources to the worst-affected areas in the south and south-west which are Bandon, Killarney, Galway, Ennis, Newcastlewest and Tralee .
"In situations where storms have caused extensive damage to the electricity networks across the country, fixing the smaller more localised faults can be frustratingly slow for both customers and network technicians," the company said in a statement.
"Today will be a difficult and long day, with an average of 8 customers per fault, progress will be frustratingly slow for the effort expended.
"Many of the faults have been caused by falling trees and branches and these need to be cut and removed before the fault can be repaired and supply restored. In addition, some new faults overnight have increased the work for the crews," the ESB statement added.
