Wellington Electricity says power has been restored to hundreds of south Wellington homes, but the cause of the outage on Thursday is still unknown.

Six hundred and eighty households in the suburbs of Berhampore, Mount Cook, and Newtown lost power around 2.40pm.

The lines company said it was investigating a fault on one of the main lines - and in the meantime, power has been re-routed.
