    Power outages are becoming more frequent in the U.S. One research group states that from 2011 to 2021, the U.S. experienced 64% more power outages than in the previous decade (2000-2010). Much of this increase has been attributed to more frequent and severe weather events.

    Other factors contributing to the problem are that a significant portion of the U.S. power grid was built decades ago and it's aging, making it more susceptible to failure, plus there’s increased demand. Growing populations, the electrification of vehicles and buildings, and the energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI) are putting more strain on the power grid, increasing the likelihood of outages.
