Power was out to nearly 500 homes and businesses for nine hours on Sunday.
The outage originally affected 729 homes and businesses at around 1:30 p.m.
East Fork firefighters responded to a location near East Valley and Buckeye roads for a downed transmission line.
NV Energy Spokeswoman Meghin Delaney said 264 customers were restored by 3:30 p.m.
No cause has been reported, but Minden-Tahoe Airport reported a 30 mph wind gust around the same time.
