Hydro One crews are trying to restore power to more than 18,000 customers in the Huntsville region and north through Sudbury and North Bay.

The utility says about 2,800 outages hit the Huntsville area beginning night of December 14, affecting mainly rural customers across the region.

About 1,000 homes, businesses and cottages finally had service restored by the end of December 16.

Hydro One says another 9,700 customers are affected near Sudbury and another 5,200 are without electricity near North Bay.

Poor weather is believed responsible for most of the outages.
