How is this different from, say, a coffee shop saying "sorry, we're closed because the electricity went out"?

I guess the difference would be that there is usually only one electric company that can supply you with power.

A coffee shop has very little equipment, and what they have tends to be isolated from other utilities (such as gas): they could easily run their shop off a generator (mate even a battery for a short time).
