Power Management console
Due to extensive damage and decades without maintenance, the powerplant produces less 10 MW out of its 3000 MW capacity. Some power lines have also been damaged.
There isn't enough power to power up both Caerus Residential Block and Hollow Earth research complex at the same time, but both must be powered and visited at least once.
