The reason why SCP-002 requires a constant source of electricity is not explicitly stated in the original text, but it is suggested that the power is necessary to maintain SCP-002 in a state of apparent recharge mode. It is also mentioned that in case of a power outage, the emergency lock between SCP-002 and the facility must be cut and the immediate area must be evacuated until the power supply is restored and SCP-002 is reconnected and returned to recharge mode. It is likely that the electricity serves to contain or control SCP-002 in some way, and without it, the object may become unstable or pose a greater threat.
