Power cuts elsewhere succeeded suppressing generation (7)
I believe the answer is:
outages
'power cuts' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'elsewhere succeeded suppressing generation' is the wordplay.
'elsewhere' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'suppressing' indicates putting letters inside.
'generation' becomes 'age' (I've seen this in another clue).
'out'+'s'='outs'
'outs' going around 'age' is 'OUTAGES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for outages that I've seen is " power failures".)
