I dunno, I still think what will happen, is the handful of ppl that have good access to weapons will take over areas. Each of those areas will have some mix of skills in it, and people will barter those skills for items and protection. The guys with guns will want people that understand gun powder for example.
Generating electricity and tieing it to a local power network with existing wire should not be to hard. One the political power structure is stabilized these feudal states will slowly become the norm and competition between them will push them to advance quickly back up to "civilized" levels.
