Premier Jacinta Allan confirmed the death of a 50-year-old man at Darlimurla, near Mirboo North in the state's Gippsland region, amid "catastrophic weather".
"Our thoughts are with the family who have lost a loved one, and also the broader community," Ms Allan said.
It's understood the man was on a quad bike and moving cattle on a property on Boolarra-Mirboo North Rd about 6pm, when he was struck by a shed roof which blew off in the storm, according to WorkSafe Victoria.
Victoria Police will prepare a report for the coroner.
Meanwhile more than 220,000 Victorians remain without power on February 14 with warnings it may take "days if not weeks" for electricity to be fully restored.
The wild storms lashed Victoria with large hail, lightning strikes and damaging wind gusts above 120 kmh, downing hundreds of powerlines.
Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) chief executive Daniel Westerman said the catastrophic winds affected the power system in "several ways".
"The downing of the major transmission lines in between Melbourne and Geelong caused the disconnect of Loy Yang A power station - that in itself did not result in any loss of customer supply," he said.
"For those customers who have power out at the moment, this is not about those transmission lines - this is about trees down on roads, trees down on powerlines."
He said the number of affected households would "dramatically reduce" in the following 36 hours down to "a very low level".
Victoria's State Emergency Service received more than 4000 calls for help overnight, many were for fallen trees but others reported building damage and flooding.
In Melbourne, drivers navigated intersections with blacked-out traffic lights and commuters faced cancellations and delays on the train network.
State energy minister Lily D'Ambrosio said the event was one of the largest outages in Victoria's history.
Homes lost, firefighters injured in bushfire
Meanwhile emergency warnings remain in the state's west for a bushfire at the Grampians National Park.
CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan confirmed homes and outbuildings had been lost in the fire at Pomonal, which has burned 2100 hectares.
It's not yet known how many homes were affected.
He told ABC News Breakfast five firefighters were caught in a "very close call" when their vehicle was entrapped by fire at Pomonal on February 13.
The crew from Ballarat CFA sustained minor burns from cinders but are "okay", he said.
Two other fires, at Newton near Ballarat and Mount Stapylton, were contained by firefighters overnight.
