We are sorry to inform you that our police bureau will be unable to provide service on July 10th due to a power outage. Service will resume tomorrow. Thank you for you understanding.
Oral:
Today,the police bureau will be without electricity for a whole day. Unfortunately, they will be unable to provide service today.

Answer

You can say 'electricity outage' instead of 'outage of electricity'

And I don't think 'retrieved' is the right word to use here, better to use 'resume'.
