Powercor crews confirm they have reconnected the final remaining customers throughout the night, with power restored by about 3am on Tuesday.
Since Saturday night, crews have replaced more than 50 damaged poles and six transformers, and rebuilt parts of the network, restoring supply to thousands of customers in the region.
Field crews will continue to inspect assets and fix any damaged infrastructure during the next few weeks as recovery works continue.
