This is probably a skill issue, or weak constitution, but can we have an option for controlling the power outages frequency? In my current game I've had 3 nights back to back outages. 
Can't even fully charge the ATV battery in between running around for server/satellite floppies and getting a little sleep. 

Maybe I just have bad RNG? Still, love the game so far!

Power outages only happen from events, not maintaining transformers or not restocking the fuses in the cr towers if i'm not mistaken. Cr towers can be a pain to maintain but there is a setting for them i think.

Transformers degrade over time. The degradation is somewhat random but predictable, scaled by: The amount of breakers turned on(You can switch off coordinates with the computer when not looking for new signals for example), the amount of upgrades the transformers have, the frames you have running that are plugged into the wall.

You can check transformer conditions with tr.check on the server room console(or any of the satellite consoles). If one is running low, you might want to preemptively go and bring it back up to 100% before it fails.

Beyond condition reaching 0, I know two things can knock your power out. One is story events, those are fairly rare. Though two does happen back to back on two days. It should be fairly easy to recognize, as it usually leads to something else happening around the transformer.

The other is the lightning wisps spawned during a fog event. And you need to be very unlucky that it zaps a transmission tower or something. Those are very rare and might not happen even once during a playthrough.(well, fog events aren't rare, but they usually zap something harmless instead)
