What does grid failure mean?

Grid failure, also known as a grid outage, occurs when the electrical power grid, which distributes electricity from power plants to homes and businesses, experiences a major disruption. This disruption can cause widespread power outages over a large area. Grid failures can happen due to severe weather, equipment failures, or issues in the transmission network. When a grid failure occurs, it often requires extensive repairs before power can be fully restored to all affected areas.
