Energex crews are working hard to try and restore power to as many Queenslanders as possible and as quickly as possible.

Over 315,000 customers were without power earlier today, with the current number below 280,000.

Energex Spokesperson Danny Donald told Peter Psaltis on 4BC's Special Coverage, "A lot of our crews out there this morning don't have power too so we emphasises with you."

"The girls and the guys out there, they're coming back with smiles on their faces and leaving with smiles on their faces, they just want to get it done too."
