The GATE Cascade Research Facility's power network is its most critical system, but far from invulnerable. The Hydroplant and Reactors' generous electrical supply is regularly overloaded by perforation and other energy-intensive research, but the single greatest threat to the power systems are 'potentivores' - creatures that consume electrical current. GATE's transdimensional studies have, at times, accidentally released several of these entities into the facility, causing rolling blackouts and damage to sensitive apparatus. Notable among these is IS-0211, which brought the facility to a standstill following its escape from Anteverse 17, in the wake of TransRecon Team 3's second foray to that realm.
