Edit: According to this WAMU: Transportation Secretary Says He Almost Ordered Metro Shutdown Last Week, the actual word used was probably "amperage", not "power", and this is just a brain-dead reporter.

ABC news article on DOT Secretary Foxx talking about DC Metro issues:

It is clear to DOT officials who watched a video of one recent incident that there is too much electrical power flowing through the subway system, he said."

"Electrical power"? There are actual words which mean something in this context, we don't need to treat it like magic. When the authorities are talking like a bad urban fantasy novel, I worry.
