A spokesperson for Scottish Power said: "Due to Storm Eowyn, there is a power cut affecting Cumbernauld.
"Our control centre will attempt to restore your electricity supply remotely, and we will also send our next available engineers to the area to find and fix the fault as quickly and as safely as possible."
It comes after we reported how Scots have been urged to stay indoors after the Met Office issued a red danger to life warning for wind on Friday.
Trains have been suspended across the country and hundreds of schools will be closed after forecasters predicted wind speeds of up to 100mph during Storm Eowyn.
Meanwhile, Police Scotland said no motorists should travel in or to the red weather warning area while train operator ScotRail said all services were being suspended due to safety concerns.
The Met Office red warning runs from 10am to 5pm and covers the central belt including Glasgow and Edinburgh, stretching north on the west coast to Jura in Argyll and Bute and south to Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway.
