Electricity keeps failing

Hi

Are these sentences natural English?

  1. Power keeps failing these days.
  2. Electricity kept failing during the war.
  3. Power has gone now. Should be back by 12.
  4. Is the power back yet?
  5. Is the electricity back yet?
  6. We have an eight-hour power outage every single day.

Any other idiomatic way to talk about it?

Thanks,

Tom
