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 can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'elsewhere succeeded suppressing generation' is the wordplay.
'elsewhere' becomes 'out' (I've seen this in other clues).
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'suppressing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'generation' becomes 'age' (I've seen this in another clue).
'out'+'s'='outs'
'outs' enclosing 'age' is 'OUTAGES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for outages that I've seen is " power failures".)
