Yes, that is correct, if you experience many power outages, that may cause BIOS to become corrupt, and Bitlocker is linked to TPM on your motherboard, so that would be the underlying cause of the blue Bitlocker screen on startup.

Why does my computer get BitLocker Recovery screen randomly?
So today I was turning on my PC as usual, and I suddenly got blue BitLocker Recovery screen. Why did I get it? I did not do any type of system and BIOS changes. However, in Ukraine we have a lot of power outages. Could it be the reason? I would appreciate your advice.
