First thing that comes to mind: ability to design detonators for explosives that are not sensitive to EMI, lest the bomb you're planting "cook off" as you get close to the switching station...
An attack of this grade would have to operate in both the physical and information domains. Possibly even the cognitive domain (i.e., there would need to be a deception plan to mislead the power grid operators into helping the attackers).
