Sorry to be so late to this, but I've got a couple of semi-learned comments to some of the questions posed:
Probably not going to do well with a suit against E-on. The service interruption was caused by what is generally referred to as an act of god, and there is usually no negligence liability for that sort of thing.
Leah, you may have insurance coverage for your damaged spoiled food and, if you haven't already explored this, some comprehensive business insurance policies have what is called "business interruption insurance." It might have provided reimbursement to you for the lost revenues due to being out of business as a result of events beyound your control. If you didn't have it, you might want to explore with your insurance agent the cost of getting some.
Good luck to all, and, again, sorry for the huge delay.
