Electrical Substations in GTA 5

(An Electrical Substation in Ron Alternates Wind Farm, Blaine County)

The electrical substations are small enclosed areas with fencing and barbed wire on all four sides. They have a fenced gate that can be climbed over. They contain many electrical boxes of high voltage and have danger signs all over the place. Overhead insulators and wires can be seen running to the electric towers nearby. Most of Sandy Shores receives its electricity supply from the electricity generated by the windmills at Ron Alternates Wind Farm and is supplied through electric towers that run along all of Sandy Shores.

1. The Electrical Substations in GTA V do not have any function, i.e when a player tries to destroy the substation, nothing happens. When shot at, only electric sparks are seen flying. A player cannot cause power failure by taking down an electric substation.
2. Many players have posted on various GTA forums asking Rockstar to add this feature in GTA 6 where players can take down substations causing an area to lose electric power supply leading to a blackout.

Q. Where are the electrical substations in GTA 5?

A. There are two substations in Los Santos; the LSDWP Rancho Substation and the LSDWP Vinewood Substation. In Blaine County, many electrical substations can be seen around the Ron Alternates Wind Farm and the Palmer-Taylor Power Station.

Q. Do areas lose power when electric substations are attacked in GTA 5?
