Been here over 5 years

(I'm from US) only 2 times has my power been out:

1st time: company forgot to pay the bill! 8 hour outage in 10 villas leased by the company. I think the guy responsible was fired.

2nd Time: horrible thunderstorm with lightning right over our villa. 3 hour outage.

If there's a road work near your place probably but they will give notice prior to that usually they put sticker on your main gate for the schedule.
