Electricity bottleneck in Cities Skylines 2
In Cities Skylines 2 electric cables and power lines have a certain capacity. There will be a bottleneck, if too much energy is flowing through one line. This situation will happen when you build a large district (e.g. the industrial zone) connected to the rest of the city only by a single road.
Residents of your city use low voltage electricity. The easiest solution to electricity bottleneck is to place more Electric Cables. However, this has a downside – low capacity. The problem will return quite soon. However, there is a solution.
- Electric Cables conduct low voltage with a maximum capacity of 80 W.
- Power Lines conduct high voltage with a maximum capacity of 400 W.
The best option is to build a transformer station in the problematic area. Then, run high voltage Power Lines to it from the power plant. From there, you can place low voltage Electric Cables to provide the district with the necessary amount of electricity. In this way, capacity will be higher.
