All but around six or so homes are expected to have their electricity supplies restored tonight after a run of severe weather caused the worst damage for years to island powerlines.
Utility company SSE offered to put a number of pensioners and vulnerable people up in local hotels tonight.
SSE also contracted caterers to provide cooked meals and hot drinks for any islanders still affected by the blackout.
Over 6,000 properties -
That figure reduced to 200 properties by this morning.
Power restored to virtually all homes

Scottish Hydro have contacted the half dozen families still affected.
Any islander still without electricity should phone 0800 300 999 to ensure SSE is aware of the fault.
Extra hydro engineers were drafted into the islands to help local staff cope with the chaos.
SSE personnel could only snatch a two or three hours sleep every night since Thursday before going back out to battle against lightning, gales and hailstorms to reconnect islanders.
Ironically, many local hydro workers also suffered lengthy powercuts at home.
As a contingency, SSE booked rooms at hotels in Tarbert and Stornoway for all customers in the area on their priority services register.
On Sunday night, some 400 litres of soup were distributed in rural communities.
Hebrides Mountain Rescue and coastguard volunteers helped deliver hot food and drinks to pensioners and infirm people as well as families with young children in affected villages.
Many people had exhausted their coal supplies so police organised special deliveries.
All Western Isles schools were shut today as another gale battered the area.
Ferries were cancelled and further disruptions to sea routes are expected on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Stornoway coastguard helicopter airlifted a team of SSE engineers onto the island of Coll in the Inner Hebrides. Wild seas meant no ferry could get near the island where some homes have been without power since last week.
