I'd give them a matter of days to recover basic power grids if they don't already possess some...(if they survived without it) some redundancy is to be expected, the issue is that when new technology requires it the new technology first needs to prove its value... which is unlikely. I don't see any sign of adapting without Dust short of the small settlements (which wouldn't be able to mine Dust anyway). For all their large settlements, they are dependant on Dust. If they ARE cut off and require a few days to refill it, chaos can easily take hold. The  Grimm alone make running out of Dust, and thus a kingdom wide blackout, a fatal affair for a kingdom, since chaos taking hold has much more rammifications than it would here.
