The largest outage, according to the company's website, affected about 1,655 people in Bayview, Chinook Park, Eagle Ridge, Glenmore Park, Haysboro, Kelvin Grove and Pump Hill, but Enmax says services have since been restored.
Calgary remains under a special weather statement from Environment and Climate Change Canada with the potential for significant snowfall this week.
The weather service says snow could continue through to Wednesday, with total snowfall expected to be between 10 and 25 centimetres by Thursday morning.
"The snow will be heavy and wet, and will be mixed with rain in some areas, so total snowfall accumulations will vary widely," the agency wrote.
