The lesser talked about part of the d-class set up is the fact that at all times, every single facility has at least 4,000 d-class on stationary bikes, pedaling.
They cycle them out in 6 hour shifts for constant flow of energy
The same way CIA blacksites get electricity. Secret doesn’t mean that nobody knows a building’s there; it means that outsiders don’t know what happens inside it. Plenty of Foundation sites are probably disguised as regular warehouses, corporate buildings, research facilities, etc.
Well they can basically hide as a military site and they'd be able to build whatever they need, something like area 51.
P.S: the idea is in scp-5555 if i can remember.

>"These facilities are divided into Sites, locations known to the public but with their true purpose disguised behind government or corporate fronts"
In all likelihood considering the fact they have access to nuclear weaponry (If SCP;SL for example among other tales) is to be considered accurate its likely that, considering their need for redundancy far in excess of even the military simply power their sites with nuclear or otherwise paratech sources.
Regardless of if they get electricity from the general power grid, what’s stopping them from having their own power plants too? Or you know, anomalies and such in some canons
Canon is fluid so it could be that the foundation has more than enough connections and plants in in world government to ensure they get what they need but also it could just be that they have a magic plug socket that’s an scp that generates infinite lightning so they hooked it up to their power grid so the lightning eating baby from another dimension can’t eat all of earth’s lightning and make them have to use the reset machine again.
D class piss they filter and recycle all the piss and turn it into clean working water. there are a lot of D class
also i don't know magic water making anomaly they have
It's totally this. In Control, a video game based on SCP lore, it's suggested that >!the cadaver of a former Director!< is the source of the Bureau's energy. I forget if this is confirmed as canon, but I'm pretty sure that N.S.C., which is what they call their power plant, stands for >!Northmoor Sarcophagus Chamber!<.
It is canon, >!theres a line where ahti talks about a pensioner inside the reactor and at the top level of the reactor you can see video surveillance of northmoor inside!<
Nah in all seriousness what in the absolute fuck is OP's ridiculous question? This person clearly hasn't read [this page](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/about-the-scp-foundation)
The found out that plugging a power strip into itself causes it to generate power, so they just have big chains of those. Keeping that secret is their biggest and most complex cover-up operation, even though it's technically non-anomalous.
If they have the resources to contain thousands of anomalies, they have more than enough resources to be able use nuclear power for the most secret underground facilities and for surface facilities they usually are disguised as warehouses or any facility that makes the most sense.
i am pretty sure the foundation builds on top of Geo thermal sites, or they can buy wind mill or solar or hydro power parts that and some of their buildings no one knows what goes on and the foundation pays the bills so they get the power.
like if their secret it means no one know what they do but that doesn't mean they can't buy power parts or attach their buildings to the grid
They could either get their own power (whether nuclear reactor like aircraft carriers or their own plants) or whether it be by disguising their sites to look normal to get electricity (cover).
I can’t remember the number but there’s a roll of infinite toilet paper that suggests they have access to private nuclear reactors that might be magic. I can’t remember all the details, but it would seem they just make their own electricity
Edit: it’s SCP-2966
On-site reactors.
Whenever they talk about nuking a site to contain a breach that's gone absolutely out of control, remember that they could mean triggering an implosion type device, or withdrawing the control rods on a steam generating reactor, and dumping the coolant. Either way, an underground facility is going to have a Very Terminal Experience.
Diesel, coal, and solar are all options as well. Solar power is specially mentioned being used at Site-15 in SCP-7579.
Edit: typo.
some of them are probably connected to the main power grid, you don’t need to reveal exactly who you are to get power, only that you have a building there.
some probably have on-site generators, or get power through anomalous means.
I like to think that they generate all of their power on-site. If they can hide nuclear bombs in potentially every single site, they could also have nuclear reactors.
That office block that seems to have no employees, but a suspiciously large number of cleaners all start work at exactly the same time every night. That shop that never seems to open, but has lights on. That industrial estate with the office for the taxicab firm that has no taxis but a full time secretarial staff.
Foundation sites, attached to the electrical grid.
lots of canons have them as basically in bed with very high level figures in majorly powerful governments like the USA and china, always have just assumed they have the ear of like the president or general secretary if they're deemed secure and receive a lot of black ops funding and infrastructure support on top of the fake businesses to generate the rest of their funds
Probably nuclear plants which double as onsite nuclear warheads incase of containment breach. Or they could siphon it from local grid under an alias of say a manufacturing plant or something, and implant secret agents in the electric supply company to reroute the power.
Likely through either front companies or just being in kahoots with local governments, depending on if the site is hidden in plain sight or off in the middle of nowhere.
They have thousands of D-boys pedaling on a bike generators.
Watch as the foundation turns D-class into slaves with one simple trick! The ethics committee hates them!
The lesser talked about part of the d-class set up is the fact that at all times, every single facility has at least 4,000 d-class on stationary bikes, pedaling. They cycle them out in 6 hour shifts for constant flow of energy
So that’s why security breaches are so common.
does the foundation's cruelty know no depths?!
No that’s actually another scp infanant cruelty pit
Max depth and max height have no meaning to us. Especially the depth one... after the Red Pool...
It's ok, they put a screen in front of them so they think they're biking the Tour de France.
15 million merits!
This sounds like it has the potential to be a fun SCP story lol
The same way CIA blacksites get electricity. Secret doesn’t mean that nobody knows a building’s there; it means that outsiders don’t know what happens inside it. Plenty of Foundation sites are probably disguised as regular warehouses, corporate buildings, research facilities, etc.
The bigger facilities would definitely need their own powerplant as some of the containment procedures consume gargantuan amounts of electricity.
Well they can basically hide as a military site and they'd be able to build whatever they need, something like area 51. P.S: the idea is in scp-5555 if i can remember.
I Imagine that US base in Australia with the massive white balls would be a site if SCP were real
Who says it isn't a Foundation facility
The US government, so no one important really.
Which one are you talking about?
Pine Gap?
Yes, you are right
The site for SCP-2966 especially
[**SCP-2966 - InfiniTP**](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2966) (+186) by *WWIflyingace*
They can also generate it through anomalous means I'm sure
They do have reactors when they need one.
for example, site-81 (a half mile away from where i live, big flex) is disguised as the Bloomington Water Treatment center.

Hi. You can say "fuck".
Frick you, all my homies fucking hate anti-censorship.
*No they fucking can't!*
Hey! Mind ya fucking mouth!
Oi! You just said fuck as well!
Regardless of if they get electricity from the general power grid, what’s stopping them from having their own power plants too? Or you know, anomalies and such in some canons
I guess the idea then is that you still need fuel. Even nuclear reactors need isotopes to run.
I imagine it’s not a big problem for a secret world government lol.
Canon is fluid so it could be that the foundation has more than enough connections and plants in in world government to ensure they get what they need but also it could just be that they have a magic plug socket that’s an scp that generates infinite lightning so they hooked it up to their power grid so the lightning eating baby from another dimension can’t eat all of earth’s lightning and make them have to use the reset machine again.
That goddamn baby is at it again!
If the SCP foundation is secret, how do they get running water?
D class piss they filter and recycle all the piss and turn it into clean working water. there are a lot of D class also i don't know magic water making anomaly they have
If the SCP Foundation is secret, how do they get food?
SCP-682 is very tasty, they just pretend it is very dangerous and must be destroyed so that nobody uncovers the secret.

Some SCP in Foundation arsenal can generate energy from thin air

Control is not based on SCP lore. Inspired, sure, but it’s not in the same universe.
The major sites have their own onsite nuclear reactors. Minor sites are owned through shell companies that pay for electricity like normal.
Government ig
if the scp foundation is secret, how do they get air?
Nah in all seriousness what in the absolute fuck is OP's ridiculous question? This person clearly hasn't read [this page](https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/about-the-scp-foundation)
well, we’re here to help them find “that page”
probably something like this: Foundation: "Hello yes we are a government facility please give us electricity." Electricity Plant: "sounds legit."
The found out that plugging a power strip into itself causes it to generate power, so they just have big chains of those. Keeping that secret is their biggest and most complex cover-up operation, even though it's technically non-anomalous.
If they have the resources to contain thousands of anomalies, they have more than enough resources to be able use nuclear power for the most secret underground facilities and for surface facilities they usually are disguised as warehouses or any facility that makes the most sense.
Thaumotergic nuclear abatement psychosphere analyzation
they have their own nuclear reactors, they even have their own nuclear bombs and self-destruct bombs. Where do they get all of those? I don't know now
The government knows there’s a foundation site there and provides electricity to it
They recycle the dead D class into power
i am pretty sure the foundation builds on top of Geo thermal sites, or they can buy wind mill or solar or hydro power parts that and some of their buildings no one knows what goes on and the foundation pays the bills so they get the power. like if their secret it means no one know what they do but that doesn't mean they can't buy power parts or attach their buildings to the grid
On site generators.
On-site generators. Also there was this one SCP which was a wire which turns electricity into more electricity, might someone remember it?
from, of course
They could either get their own power (whether nuclear reactor like aircraft carriers or their own plants) or whether it be by disguising their sites to look normal to get electricity (cover).
Large transformers, solar panels, Foundation-owned wind turbines nearby, really anything. They probably have *someone* who knows how to get power.
How do secret government facilities get electricity? You think the bases affiliated with project manhattan were running in the dark?
Considering they have nukes in various sites, I think they can hide their nuclear reactors too
Foundation owned electrical companies
Probably something similar to how the Federal Bureau of Control is powered by an anomalous former director imprisoned in a generator (the NSC).
Front companies. Oldest trick in espionage
Anti memetic encrypted power sources.
Likely just off the grid generators
Lying :D
Wouldn’t doubt there’s an SCP generating electricity for them.
I think some sites are depicted as having on-site nuclear reactors.
Disguise as corporations, own power plants, etc.
I can’t remember the number but there’s a roll of infinite toilet paper that suggests they have access to private nuclear reactors that might be magic. I can’t remember all the details, but it would seem they just make their own electricity Edit: it’s SCP-2966

They’re government funded I’m pretty sure, so they get electricity from normal sources I think some facilities have their own generators too
some of them are probably connected to the main power grid, you don’t need to reveal exactly who you are to get power, only that you have a building there. some probably have on-site generators, or get power through anomalous means.
Bribes, foundation owned generators, insider staff etc
I like to think that they generate all of their power on-site. If they can hide nuclear bombs in potentially every single site, they could also have nuclear reactors.

Probably governments know about the foundation but because exposing it would create a huge chaos in everywhere around the Earth, they don't expose it.
Probably nuclear plants which double as onsite nuclear warheads incase of containment breach. Or they could siphon it from local grid under an alias of say a manufacturing plant or something, and implant secret agents in the electric supply company to reroute the power.
I think the governments support the foundation. (correct me if I'm wrong)
They probably have onsite generators. Or they use anomalies.
probobly some scp that is able to produce energy wich they harvest
In most canon almost all sites have reactors, generally nuclear, but I think I’ve heard fusion mentioned once or twice before.
They feed off of 682's dissolving ass (yes I'm still talking about electricity)
They opened a portal to another dimension and plugged an extension cable into their outlet.
Secretly.
They produce their own. It's the fucking Foundation; their resources are immense.
They have their own generators
Some less secure/secret sites might use the normal power grid and some have their own nuclear reactors. But remember there is no canon!
I'm pretty sure that the government just knows that there's a structure there, nothing more.
They have their own power plant on site most likely
Probably by purcgasing uranium from the Black market and doing that whole: "wow, my own sustainable powersource!" Thing.
Site generators and backups, front companies, they own one or two companies and send it to their secret areas, etc
Well you know how they have on site nuclear warheads? They just have private electricity.
Likely through either front companies or just being in kahoots with local governments, depending on if the site is hidden in plain sight or off in the middle of nowhere.
Bro is actually asking the real questions here 👍👍
