Power Grid

The Power Grid is the main power control room the XCOM base.

Overview
While power generators are spread throughout the facility, the central control point is found at the Power Grid, from here the base's entire electrical system can be managed. This includes functions such as; monitoring power usage of facilities, shutting power to certain areas and generator controls.

Generators
The base draws its main power supply from several deuterium fusion reactors, these self-sustaining generators provide an abundant source of power but do require a start-up generator. To provide the initial power (or act as a backup power supply) the base is connected to several hydroelectric generators which use the water movement in nearby lakes and rivers to generate additional power. If needed XCOM can also draw power from the national grid, but normally avoids doing so due to the massive amount require.
