About 30 Ergon Energy customers in the Maclagan and Peranga areas lost power for almost five hours on Tuesday after an Army helicopter clipped powerlines.
The incident occurred about 11:00am.
The ARH Tiger helicopter, which was on a training exercise from Oakey Army Aviation Training Centre, landed safely in a paddock near Maclagan.
No one on board was injured and the helicopter was not badly damaged.
The Department of Defence will investigate the incident.
Power was restored at 3:39pm.
