Cities: Skylines 2 - Power Bottleneck Troubleshooting Guide
Explains how to solve power bottleneck issues in Cities: Skylines 2, substation placement strategies, and how to check energy consumption. Suggests placing substations near major buildings and roads with four or more lanes, and efficiently managing the power grid using underground cables.
1. ⚡ Cities: Skylines 2 Power Problem Diagnosis and Solution Approach
- ✅ Power bottlenecks occur due to insufficient transmission capacity in the power grid.
- ✅ Focus on solving existing power grid issues instead of building new power plants.
- ✅ Identify key points where electricity enters the grid from the outside (e.g., substations).
| Problem Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Bottleneck | Power supply to specific areas is not smooth due to insufficient power transmission capacity |
| Substation Overload | Power demand is concentrated on a specific substation, exceeding its processing capacity |

2. 🔄 Substation Relocation Strategy and Power Grid Connection Improvement
- ✅ Substations should be connected to major roads to increase power transmission efficiency.
- ✅ Relocating substations can improve power flow and alleviate bottlenecks.
- ⚠️ Consider the impact on surrounding areas when relocating substations (e.g., demolishing residential areas).
| Considerations | Details |
|---|---|
| Road Type | Place substations on major roads with 4 or more lanes to secure power transmission capacity |
| Surroundings | Minimize demolition of residential areas, consider harmony with upgraded buildings |

3. 🛣️ Improving Power Supply by Utilizing Major Roads and Installing Underground Cables
- ✅ Expand the city's power grid to increase the number of power receiving points.
- ✅ Improve power grid connections by installing substations on major roads such as 4-lane roads.
- ✅ Use underground cables to expand the power grid without the limitations of above-ground space.
| Strategy | Description |
|---|---|
| Major Road Placement | Maximize power transmission efficiency by placing substations on roads with 4 or more lanes |
| Underground Cable Utilization | Secure key power grid connection points without above-ground space limitations |
05:56 - 07:21
4. 🏢 Analyzing Energy Consumption and Placing Substations Near Major Facilities
- ✅ It is best to install substations on 4-lane or 6-lane roads.
- ✅ Place substations near areas with high energy consumption (industrial areas).
- ✅ Major facilities such as cargo ports, postal sorting facilities, technical colleges, and airports consume a lot of power.
| Facility Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Cargo Port/Postal Sorting Facility | Logistics and transportation-related facilities require high power consumption |
| Technical College/Airport | Special buildings consume more power than general buildings |
07:22 - 09:33
5. 📊 Checking Power Consumption Information and Summary of Problem Solving
- ✅ Check the city's power consumption through the information view.
- ✅ Install additional substations near areas with high energy consumption.
- ✅ Place substations on 4-lane or 6-lane roads, and use underground cables if necessary.
| Solution | Description |
|---|---|
| Substation Placement | Install substations in areas with high energy consumption and near major roads |
| Underground Cables | Expand power grid connections without above-ground space limitations |
| Emergency Battery Station | Emergency power supply in case of power supply problems (optional) |
