OpenTTD Suggestions • Electric Power Grid

Regarding the use of Power Plants and Coal mines, I think it would be even more challenging (in a good way) to add some sort of electrical grid to complement the production of coal, and the consumption of said coal at the plants, that produce in kW-Electricity. I was thinking that there could be sub-stations set up. Ones that either come with the powerplant, or not, and power from the plant is stepped-up to be transferred through powerlines. These powerlines would carry it to be distributed and stepped-down in neighborhood sub-stations. To kind of show the flow, better explained, I'll share what I would like to be added:

What could be added:

• Sub-stations (Step-up & Step-down)
• Transmission lines (powerlines that distribute the power from the plant, and substations)
• (Anything not to complex relating to the energy grid, that could also be added, breakers, etc.)

Visual of production, delivery, and consumption:

• Coal to Power Plant
• Power Plant produces electricity (in kW - kilowatts)
• Power leaves through transformer - OR - Power leaves straight transmission lines (powerlines with higher voltage)
• Power stepped down at substation
• Power delivered to substation, and possibly distributed to homes/city
