Need help with steam engine

Hello!

New player here... What did I do wrong, why is the steam engine not working? All 4 boilers have coal, their water temperature is 100 degrees. But the steam engine does not produce power, and it says it's water temperature is 20 degrees? Help?

EDIT: nevm, found out why: I did not have any buildings requiring power yet. Apparently there needs to be demand for the generator to start working.

You need to plug something onto it. Place poles and some consumer.
