More than 475,000 Hydro-Québec customers are without power this afternoon, according to the utility’s online outage tracker.

Those customers are spread across several regions including Montreal, Montérégie and Quebec City. Earlier this month, an ice storm knocked out power for more than one million customers.

It’s unclear what is behind Tuesday’s reported outages.

CBC News is reaching out to the utility to get more details.

More to come.
