Reply to comment by Kihr in eli5: how long would power stay on if the power company abandoned their post? by larsattacks94

That begs the question, in an apocalyptic even how hard would it be to restart or partially start the grid up again? Like if some survivors found the control room or whatever and wanted to restore power to their camp specifically should it fall in the grid, what obstacles would they have to overcome?

It'd be incredibly difficult even if we had a nationwide blackout. There are 3 grids and they all have different issues.
