How did you reach this conclusion?
No power =
No shops open, no produce available, no banks online, no money available, cash would have to been drawn ahead of time, (if announced), a run on the banks, especially in the poorer areas, which the banks couldnt handle, looting would be prevelant, roads jammed due to no power for traffic lights, petrol stations would run dry, (only those who have generators would work anyway)cell phones would be inoperable by the 5th day, communications would be down, water supply would stop, and waste would build up, due to sewerage sytems shuting down.
Civil order would collapse by the 8th day, maybe the 10th, the police are horrible under staffed, how would they respond to emergencies with no communications, or when they themselves run out of petrol?
Bleak, maybe, but if one expects the worse, then anything less is a plus

Anyway, chances are slim all of what you said will result, as most of the country lived without electricity for more than 30 years anyway. In fact, most of the people in this country mostly use electricity for their lighting only, they still cook with paraffin. Perhaps you should take a walk through your local informal settlement so that you can get a feeling of how things will probably remain.
