According to an Endeaviour Energy spokesperson, homes and businesses across the southern Illawarra lost power on Tuesday morning due a technical fault.
Residents reported losing power around 9.30am. At 10.30am Endeaviour Energy's website said 1392 homes and businesses had been impacted by the outage.
At 1.10pm power had been restored to most homes and businesses however the outage continued in Pioneer Drive and Tuan Street Blackbutt.
Endeaviour Energy crews were dispatched and power was back on by 2.30pm.
An Endeavour Energy spokeswoman said power supply was cut off when a broken cross arm caused 33kv power lines to fall across lower 11kv power lines.
The inbuilt protection system tripped off power supply to the area instantaneously, she said.
