What happens if a power plant is taken off line?

Taking it off-line could mean 5–10 cities all loose power. This can cause a cascading failure – one plant goes off-line, which causes the demand on another nearby plant to rise to dangerous levels, so it also goes off-line, and the process keeps going and going, until entire states, or whole regions are left without power.

Is it possible to completely remove power from a transmission line?

Sometimes it’s possible, and sometimes it isn’t. When a certain transmission line gets too stressed, the only way to prevent damaging it (or the power plant that’s feeding it) is to take that power source offline – to disconnect it from the rest of the grid. Now that line has no power at all.
