@phil to reply to your question, given the context, I believe "prodotti" is redundant - it is actually saying "if the plant is down and does not produce power".
The problem with energy carrier is that I have both vettore elettrico and vettore termico, which I have to distinguish.
philgoddard Jan 18, 2016:
I found a few hits for "vectors" in this context, but they were all translations. Here's another example:
"Interventi per l’uso di fonti o vettori più appropriati dell’energia elettrica (es: sostituzione scaldabagni elettrici)"
Who is supplying what to whom here? It doesn't sound like the power station supplying power to the consumer, because it says "mancata fornitura dei vettori elettrici prodotti". In other words, something is being produced but not supplied.

energy carriers/electrical storage devices

I think "vettore elettrico" is likely to be the same as "vettore energetico". The Italian Wikipedia article for this term links to the English "energy carrier".

"An energy carrier is a substance (energy form) or sometimes a phenomenon (energy system) that contains energy that can be later converted to other forms such as mechanical work or heat or to operate chemical or physical processes. Such carriers include springs, electrical batteries, capacitors, pressurized air, dammed water, hydrogen, petroleum, coal, wood, and natural gas."

I'm guessing that in this context, the carriers/storage devices are batteries.

neutral philgoddard : Page 3 of your reference gives the English translation as "energy carriers", and I think that may be the answer.
