About 218,000 customers are still without power this afternoon, according to the Hydro-Québec's online outage tracker.
At around 12:30 p.m., the number of customers without power was just shy of 500,000, and the outages were spread across several regions in the province.
Most of the remaining outages are in Montreal and Montérégie, with thousands of customers in Lanaudière also being affected.
Earlier this month, an ice storm knocked out power for more than one million customers.

Hydro-Québec also said the utility is investigating the reasons behind Tuesday's failure.
It also said customers do not need to signal outages through the Info-pannes service.
