loss of power

English translation: loss of electricity

English term or phrase: loss of power
It is in a list of damages not covered:

...loss of power, loss of use, loss of revenue,...

Wondering if it is literal (as typical in legal translation), that is, a loss of electricity, but it is weird to be listed alongside business terms (use, revenue, profit).

Explanation:
Loss of Power Can Mean Loss of Income

Business interruption coverage (also known as business income coverage) can be extended to include losses due to interruptions in utility services. Utility Services-Time Element provides coverage for a loss of income due to interruption of power, water supply, and communications. The business owner may select coverage for any or all of these utilities. This form pays loss of profit plus continuing expenses, up to the selected limit or until service is restored.

neutral  philgoddard: It's definitely not this. Power has negative connotations - for example, Putin is trying to regain Russia's declining power by threatening to invade Ukraine. You can't insure against losing it.

neutral  Paul O'Brien: Power is a word to be avoided in a corporate context. At most powers of proxy.

disagree  AllegroTrans: You don't get paid damages or make insurance claims for losing power, quite wrong

power outage


Explanation:
Why not a power outage? You lose the use of the machine and you lose revenue. It's axiomatic.
