Theres probably quite a list for fuel not being able to get to the engines, including Fuel Management Unit failure, Fuel flow transmitter, Fuel Pump Failures or Control Valve Failure. Having reduced fuel flow for whatever reason would cause the engines to reduce power.

You still have the EEC and FADEC which tie in with all this, so you could endlessly speculate on what went wrong.

To add, the report said that the aircraft had enough fuel left to power the engines, so you can rule out that the tanks didn't have enough fuel to power the engines.
