Your base in that savegame contains about 1200(!) laser turrets, each draining 24 kW of power in standby mode. That is in total about 28 MW of power.

After tearing down most of the turrets, the electric networks seems to behave normally with me.

I guess it would work as long as your steam engines are producing more than 28 MW of electricity. However, if it ever drops below 28 MW, all entities in your electric network will not receive any electricity anymore, since everything is used up by the standby power ("drain") of the laser turrets. This will lead to a deadlock situation, because, without electricity, your boiler inserters will stop working, stopping all power generation completely. This deadlock situation can only be fixed by manually feeding the boilers with fuel, so that they produce more than 28 MW again, or by replacing the inserters with burner inserters, which do not require electricity.
