Can’t meet energy demand no matter what I do

I have over double capacity then demand I. My city yet the energy icon is still red

  • Can't see much from that picture, check that ALL of your residential buildings are connected to the power grid by roads. That's all I can suggest.

  • I’m seeing something very similar, and it started after a recent app update.

    In my city, services show red warnings despite having large overcapacity. What makes it clearly a bug is that affected buildings stay broken even when moved to fully serviced areas — the problem follows the building, not the coverage. New buildings placed after the issue started work normally.

    I’ve been in an ongoing discussion with EA Support about this, but so far they keep responding with generic troubleshooting replies and don’t seem to understand that this is a technical issue introduced after an update, not a player error.

    Did this begin for you after the latest app update, or shortly after placing a Fusion Power Plant? In my case, the issue appeared right after the update / Fusion Plant placement, which strongly suggests service state corruption rather than a real capacity problem.

    If capacity is sufficient and moving buildings doesn’t fix it, it’s very likely update-related.
