Could it happen here?

On Monday one of India's power grids failed affecting an estimated 300,000,000. On Tuesday, three - including one that failed the previous day also - of India's power grids failed affecting an estimated 600,000,00.  Officials are not sure exactly why.  Some speculate that some states are exceeding their power quota but clearly part of the problem is the age of the grid.

How old is our electrical grid?  Will we be waiting for the power to be turned back on?
