Power lines and transformers

I would love to be able to develop my own power network over the islands. That's one of the things I always look for in games, and it would be amazing if we had that option in this game as well.
It would find new use for steel (for constructing steel power pylons) and copper (transmission lines) and it would enable a whole new segment of gameplay where you plan your factories around your power hubs (transformer stations).
Hope devs consider this in the future.

I think a system like overhead high-voltage power lines for long distance power distribution that has to end in transformer stations would be interesting.
With the caveat of using a kind of game-y underground implied power system for short distance power distribution. Using transformers with a "underground power distribution" range and capacity.
This would keep the game from ending with the same power line spaghetti that Satisfactory has for example, while still retaining the interesting power distribution gameplay - having to use overhead to get the power from your power station to your factory.
