Even in developed countries I've noticed a marked difference (albeit nowhere near reported SA or India levels) when moving from Israel to Austria and then to Germany. When I was growing up in Israel (1983-2005) power outages were common but not frequent (once every few months, my parents had a permanent supply emergency lighting, flashlights and candles at home for when the power would go out, usually for just an hour or 2). Ever since moving to Austria (2005) and then Germany (2013) I think I have only once or twice experienced power outages and they only lasted a few minutes. So probably >20x less common (once a decade instead of a couple times per year) while also getting fixed a lot quicker. I don't know how much the infrastructure has improved in Israel since (I would guess it's better now but not as good as in Austria and Germany) but even back then it was still just an occasional nuisance unlike in the developing world where it happens enough to really impact people lives and productivity.
