On first seeing this I thought it read 'power outrages' which sort of seems appropriate.

Also live in a village in North Yorkshire. We had something similar a few weeks ago. Supposed to be off from 9am to 4pm. They hit unexpected problems. Came back on at midnight but only then because they connected up a generator which remained in place for 4 days. A number of my neighbours kicked off with the result that they have offered each house £75 in compensation. To be fair the cheque came effectively by return of post.
