mizansinha007Why should we use "off"?
I can give you no very logical answer; it is merely the expression we use: it has gone to an 'off' condition', just as we 'turn off' our TV sets.

I think I would be somewhat more likely to say "the power is out" or "the electricity is out." The condition is referred to as a "power outage."
