In Aus, maybe once or twice a month during really hot or cold seasons and it often comes back within minutes if not seconds. Almost never during comfortable weather.
Used to be a lot worse when I was younger, sometimes going through 35-39 degree (Celsius) weather with only fans.

This year has been particularly frequent. It has mostly been caused by storms or reckless drivers plowing into power lines. It can take up to 24 hours some times for power to be restored, sometimes the power is restored fast but it takes 2-3 days for internet access to come back.

We get very short interruptions to our power once every couple months or so. As for major blackouts, our last one has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_South_Australian_blackout
