Statement A means to use alternate sources like solar power/less popular ones such as burning firewood or dung cake which may not be available in every locality/not in a modern setup. But you can also reduce the burden on electricity grids by using the supply sparingly and thereby preventing more outages.

Acute power shortage means severe power shortage.

"resort to" means to adopt a situation or to get used to a situation, and in this statement it means to start using electricity only when it is inevitable.
"inevitable" means a situation where you can not avoid or neglect.
For example it is inevitable to enter a dark room without turning on the lights.
