First impact
Residential Electricity →Shortage riskStep-Down Substation & Distribution
A mass blackout directly reflects constrained local distribution capacity, so the step-down/distribution stage is the most immediately disrupted.
96% confidenceResidential Electricity →Shortage riskBulk Transmission
Damage to energy infrastructure that cuts power to hundreds of thousands also constrains the high-capacity transmission network feeding the affected area.
90% confidenceGrid Electricity for PGM Smelting (South Africa / Russia) →Shortage riskMMC Norilsk Nickel (Nornickel)GMKN
This electricity input is listed as 100% of the company's supply with low substitutability, so a blackout directly constrains Nornickel's smelting operations.
