the period of time where you lose power is called a "power outage" or more colloquially in the US we also call it a "black out"
ex "There was a black out/power outage yesterday, it lasted 3 hours before the power came back on."

Oh, there is a back out. I don't know the reason why we lost power but I hope they'll give it back soon. Oh, there is it. It didn't last long. The power came back.
