Can anybody help decipher what this the below is actually covering in Together Mutuals home emergency cover? Would it cover a gas leak on our side / after the meter (after NationalGrid has capped the meter?)

"Insured Events Covered

5 Domestic power supply
The failure, whether or not caused accidentally, of the home’s domestic electricity or gas supply."

and

"WHAT IS NOT INSURED BY THIS SECTION

9 the interruption, failure or disconnection of the mains electricity, mains gas or mains water supply

    I haven't read the brochure in the link but imagine they are saying that (in the case of electricity, for instance) they won't cover you if the grid goes down so no power gets to the house, but they would if your fuse box blew or a socket was accidentally wet (eg from fish tank disintegration).
