But the utility says rotating outages are likely throughout the day as repairs are made to transmission lines.
The lines and some steel towers were blown down in a storm Monday night that left tens of thousands of people in the dark.
SaskPower also says there are new outages in 22 communities after storms battered southern Saskatchewan on Tuesday.
Communities without power include Nipawin, Melfort and Weyburn, and there are minor outages in Regina and Moose Jaw.
