It would escalate the war to a point where Putin might use nuclear arms. We'd like to avoid that.
Attacks on civilian infrastructure are notoriously ineffective at convincing an enemy to surrender. See: Ukraine, England, etc.
Attacks on purely civilian infrastructure is a war crime. While electrical facilities can often be considered viable military targets during a war, it is much harder to justify a substation or plant powering a predominately nonmilitary civilian sector (like a city) rather than an industrial plant.
As much as I want Putin and the people enabling him to get an express ticket off this mortal coil, I don't think blowing up Moscow's power infrastructure is the best way to go about doing that.
