Turning the power off for 120 sec?
How am I supposed to do that? Is there a button to switch off all generators in the lair?

No, the developers want the players to suffer.

click on the generators and turn them off individually until you don't have enough power to fulfil demand. then switch them back on after

I need 2 screenshoots to take all the generators I have in the basement.
WHO THE ♥♥♥♥ BETA TESTED THIS GAME?!

you don't need to all turn them off, just enought to reach at most -1 power (if you don't overbuild, that's 2 click what an insane effort to do ...)

Sounds like you are grossly overproducing power. That seems more like emergent gameplay than a game design issue.

Sigh.

You don't need to turn them all off. Just enough so your total energy is negative.

I don't know how you play, but I barely have 20-100 extra power anyway, and that means up to 3 fusion reactors to switch off.

Also, while you cannot turn off multiple generator in a single go, changing the floor of a place automatically sells everything on it. It's not optimal, but you can also do it this way.

I do which there was a key for switching items on and off though.

In terms of game design, the game is very terrible, the game is completely unfriendly to the player, as the person who invented it thought was.

How was I supposed to know I should have took this quest at the beginning of my playthrough?

Yeah, I'm telling you of a way to switch off (well, sell) any amount of power in 3 clicks. Yes, it's suboptimal. Still solves your issue.

I'm not sure what your problem is.

1 That I have to sell my generators.
2 That I have to "WAIT" for the generators to be sold
3 That I have to "WAIT" 120 sec for a countdown to reach 0
4 That I have to buy back every generators I sold for this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quest.

That's not the game who tell you to spend all this money into generators, you did it by yourself. So don't blame others for your mistake please.
You don't need to sell generators, just need to deactivate them.
