Power Outages and Shabbat

If there is a local power failure on Shabbat or Yom Tov and non-Jews (usually outside of Israel) or Jews (usually in Israel) repair the fault and restore service, can you use the lights, electric hotplate, and other apparatus that were effectively switched on for you on Shabbat or Yom Tov? Join Rabbi Dovid Fink as he explores power outages that happen on Shabbat.
