Have they tried unplugging and plugging it back in?

That's actually a major part of grid design, and unless you design and implement it properly it can be a monumental pain to actually restart the grid properly.

It's called a "Black Start" and is very hard to do, especially on an already dodgy and possibly damaged grid.

Here's a YouTube video explaining the processes and difficulties involved with black starts. Very interesting https://youtu.be/uOSnQM1Zu4w

They should try. Or maybe someone unplugged it to charge their phone. That 2% power left warning is no joke.
