The majority of power outages are in the west and north west of the country from Belmullet in Mayo up to Letterkenny in north Donegal where around 14,000 customers have been affected.
Areas of Longford and Roscommon are also experiencing outages.
The main damage has been caused to lines being brought down by trees that have fallen in the wind.
Winds speeds of 144 kilometres per hour have been recorded in some places and the storm is expected to peak this lunchtime, according to ESB.
ESB crews are out repairing the damage and it is hoped that all customers will have power restored by close of business today.
