More than 2,500 N.B. Power customers are without power Sunday due to weather.
Freezing rain, heavy rainfall and harsh winds hit most areas in the province Saturday evening and into Sunday.
N.B. Power spokesperson Dominique Couture said most of the outages are due to weather conditions and, in some cases, trees that have fallen on power lines.
"Crews are currently working at securing any safety hazards, and then restoration will be set to the largest outages first," Couture said in an email to CBC News.
Areas most impacted are Miramichi, Fredericton and Carleton County.
Couture said it's still not known how long the outages will last.
