The Army doesn't deal with power grids as a rule. They run of generators on a small scale powering specific operations instead of building grids.

Of that maybe a couple dozen would be available for that misson. And still they are not used to the kind of work required for a civilian power grid.

It's not something in the Army's skill set.
