Power cuts usually occur outside of a power station usually at the grid contactors that feed the high voltage into the grid system.
Each power station has a number of generators each synchronised to be 'in phase' with each other and despite a 'power cut' they do not stop turning so the power station itself always has power.

They can take power off the grid, or start a generator.

Power stations only employ blind people so they don't need lights anyway

generators or a battery bank to give emergency lights
