To better monitor and control our power generation we should have a way to get the power usage and production to circuit network.
Similar to how Accumulators report charge to the circuit network, substations could report power production and power usage of their electric network.
Alternatively expose power usage and power production of networks in API so we can mod in entities reading those stats.

agreed. been wanting this since i started using accumulators charge %.

This would be great. I would love to be able to dynamically shut-down different parts of my factory.

I really like this. That makes that parallel to the roboports.

This is a very good suggestion.
