well in many of my T2K and MP campaigns i have at least one town with a junkyard where they strip the alternators from every vehicle they can and build either a wind farm or water wheel to power the town. (its a good Macguffin for sneaking in higher tech levels to resupply at in Morrow Project)

i could easily see something like that (or even a coal-steam powerplant) built in my area following TEOTWAWKI with the college nearby and the metal fittings factory in town with junk yards and abandoned coal mines dotting the landscape.

You just have to think where would power be generated and think 19th century as to anything above isolated small scale generation

water power

wind power

coal fired generators near areas that still have relatively easy to get at deposits

with the occasional solar powered source (remember they were relatively rare in 1995 versus today), surviving nuclear stations (all with pretty big garrisons around) and diesel generators that can either burn unrefined fuel straight from nearby wells or that are combined with a surviving refinery near operational wells with much of the power being used to keep that refinery alive (most likely the situation in places like Robinson IL and Oklahoma where MilGov still has operational refineries
