You can view the current energy level on the
smart grid, i.e. the current power state of your
neighborhood in the Smart grid state section
of the Smart Grid screen. There are 5 smart
grid states or levels from Level 0 to Level 4. The
higher the level, the closer the power state of your
neighborhood is to a blackout.
You can also view and change the override time, i.e. the limit time for using the smart grid service
in a day in the Override section of the Smart Grid screen. The override time is the amount

Override sections are displayed in the Smart Grid screen.
