You have to right click on an electric pole (or steam engine? idk, I always used the poles). Hm, never thought about it but it is weird that you can access production stats with a key but not the electricity ones.

Yes, but has a logical reason: Production-info is the overall production and network-info is ... per network. You can have several power-networks.
Cool suggestion: Eatable MOUSE-pointers.

Oh yeah, that's a good reason :) Though if it was made accessible to a key I would think you could have different 'tabs' or 'pages' for different networks, perhaps would need to also have the position (x,y hm...general middle of network?) so you can tell where each network actually is.

Hmm... I use several networks to limit the power for the radar, which is very useful. Nearly the same trick as with the on/off-switch for steam-engines: Place an accu, place one pole with SHIFT-key, so that the accu is in both networks, place the radar so, that it is connected to the single pole only and voila you get an radar, which uses only half of the power and switches off, if you haven't enough power or when you use more solar cells it switches off at night (but in that state of game you normally have enough power left).
