How it reaches your house.
Starting from State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
Residential Electricity →Shortage riskStep-Down Substation & Distribution
The sabotage targeted a substation, so the distribution stage that delivers grid power to end users is directly constrained.
68% confidenceResidential Electricity →Shortage riskBulk Transmission
The incident also involved high-voltage lines and a deliberate short circuit, so bulk transmission capacity is temporarily constrained.
65% confidenceReseau de Transport d'Electricite (RTE) →Shortage riskA sabotage-related interruption to the grid would constrain this essential, low-substitutability electricity input to RTE, though reporting suggests the specific incident may not have caused an actual outage.
55% confidenceHop 2
Electricity (electrolytic refining) →Shortage riskElectrolytic refining is highly electricity-intensive, so a grid-related electricity shortfall would directly constrain copper and electrical wiring production.
93% confidenceElectricity (Grid Power) →Shortage riskIndustrial gases are a critical electricity-dependent input, so a grid sabotage can quickly constrain supply.
90% confidenceElectricity (Grid Power) →Shortage riskThe graph assigns France a share of electricity exposure, and a French grid incident can reduce electricity availability there.
Hop 3
Industrial gases →DelaysCryogenic Distillation (Air Separation Unit)
A grid-power disruption directly slows or stops this core, electricity-intensive industrial-gas separation step.
84% confidenceIndustrial gases →DelaysAir Intake & Compression
Power loss delays the compressor-driven air intake stage that feeds the plant.
80% confidenceFrance →Shortage riskCryogenic air separation unit (ASU)
France supplies 28% of ASUs, and these plants are highly power-dependent, so grid disruption can quickly cut output.
78% confidenceHop 4
Copper cathodes (refined) →Shortage riskCopper cathodes are a critical, high-dependency input to copper and electrical wiring, so a cathode supply disruption directly constrains wiring production.
98% confidenceCopper rod (8mm) →Shortage riskCopper rod (8mm) is a critical input to copper and electrical wiring, so the rod shortage should quickly tighten supply of that downstream good.
93% confidencepMDI Metering Valve →Shortage riskpMDI Metering Valves are a critical, high-dependency input to inhalers, so a supply disruption here would directly constrain inhaler production.
