The Satwave Power Plant is located in the southern Badlands of Night City.
Overview[]
The power station consists of one large tower in the center that functions as the collection unit, while around it there are three large antennas — with additional antennas strung out alongside a road running southwest towards the South California border, and a few on the hills to the east, near Laguna Bend. Each antenna collects microwave energy from satellites in orbit around Earth, which is then converted into enough electricity to power a large amount of the sub-districts of Night City.[2]
History[]
In 2077, Panam Palmer and V, in search of a method on how to down a Kang Tao AV in order to capture Anders Hellman, devised a plan to overload the power plant's receiver core to generate an EMP to bring down all of the AVs systems and make it crash-land somewhere in the surrounding Jackson Plains. While their plan to generate an EMP was a success, it proved insufficient to bring down the AV on its own, requiring an additional hit by Panam's rocket launcher.[2]
In the aftermath of the EMP, the majority of Night City experienced a blackout, costing roughly 120 million eurodollars in damages.[3] Many of the nearby residents suffered critical implant failures, but human casualties were held at a minimum.[4]
