A total of 385 of Aurora Energy customers in Mosgiel and some surrounding areas were left without power after the incident.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said crews assisted with traffic control after the tree fell on power lines in Morris Rd about 9.30am.
The location is the same area where a gum tree touching powerlines started a major fire in 2015.
Six addresses are also out of power in Queenstown after a property was struck by lightning.
The lines had snapped and crews waited until Aurora Energy arrived at about 10am.
