Yes, there's no way aside from physically destroying Powergrid. However, I recommend not to approach any settlement with bigger than Light security on ship. better park 2-3 Km away, so you don't trigger any trasspasses.

What is the new settlement type in Elite Dangerous?

How do you turn off/disable a power grid without shooting?
How do you go in and proplerly hack to turn off/disable a power grid without shooting at stuff and destroying it up? There is no way to hack it and disable it without blowing it up. You have to destroy it. These are easy. Just get close to the settlement and wait for it to show up as a target. Don't even have to leave your ship.
What is the difference between a surface port and a settlement?
Settlements are on planet surfaces. Unlike Surface Ports, ships and SRVs cannot dock at Settlements, as they do not possess any Landing Pads. Settlements do not display in the contacts panel of the HUD . Settlements can be guarded by Skimmers, anti-SRV turrets, and anti-ship defence turrets.
What does it mean when it says "take out power grid"?
The mission wording is very particular. If it says "Take out" power grid, you are to destroy a generator on site. If it says "disable", you are to use the SRV and scan a data tower. In this case the tower is called "Emplacement access terminal" and is outside of the main city / structure on it's own platform.
Can you use missiles to destroy generators?
You can use missiles (dumb fire) to destroy generators from the air, but they're usually protected with armor on one side, and the exposed side is usually facing another structure at close range, making it fairly difficult to land a shot effectively. As the others have said disable the power grid equals destroy it.

How many pads are there in a tourism settlement?
Tourism settlements are one of the largest settlement types, and have 2 small pads, 1 medium pad, and 1 large pad, while a smaller type like a military settlement may have only 2 small pads. Be sure to confirm which minor faction is in control of the settlement and stow weapons before approaching it.
What are settlement missions?
Settlement Missions. Missions can feature generic Settlements as targets, and ask for a specific data tower to be accessed or a specific generator to be destroyed. The official Settlements - Elite Dangerous: Horizons Pilot Training video has a detailed explanation.
What is the security authorisation level in a settlement?
Settlements use a security authorisation system to deny access to visitors and infiltrators. Authorisation levels range from 0 to 3, with 0 being the lowest level and granted to a visitor whom the settlement's controlling minor faction is neutral towards, and 3 being the highest level and restricted to the most important personnel. Commanders who are detected inside a structure that they lack the necessary authorisation to access will be tagged as criminals and targeted by guards. However, the same authorisation system applies to settlement personnel: guards will not enter structures if they lack the appropriate authorisation level, even if they witness intruders enter those structures.
How do settlements affect colonists?
Settlements can be found in one of nine states, which affect the activities available there and the presence of colonists and security forces: Active, Abandoned, War, Damaged, Online, Online Damaged, Offline, Offline Damaged, and Conflict Zone. If a commander attacks a populated settlement, the controlling minor faction will dispatch reinforcements, but these are finite; however, a commander who massacres an entire settlement and defeats all reinforcements will face severe consequences. Depopulated settlements will repopulate over time. Anti-ship defences also make aerial attacks on settlements risky unless commanders on the ground disable those defences first. Commanders can also deactivate a settlement's power plant, which also disables its security systems.
How to use security alarms in settlement?
Settlement security alarms can be exploited by infiltrators to distract guards and other personnel while carrying out illegal mission objectives. First, locate an alarm in a building away from the objective, then activate it while no personnel are watching and leave the building without being spotted. This may require obtaining security authorisation to enter a restricted building with an alarm; if a cloned authorisation profile is used, be sure to clear it after leaving the restricted building to prevent it from being picked up by any guards making security scans. Next, proceed to the building where the mission objective is located. Any guards normally patrolling the target building will leave to investigate the source of the alarm, and only civilian personnel will remain, which should make it much easier to reach the objective without detection or needing to kill anyone.
How are settlements protected?
In addition to civilian personnel, settlements are protected by guards who actively patrol the grounds and structures, searching for intruders or illicit activities. Settlement guards may ask visitors to submit to a security scan via Profile Analyser.
