Power issues?

[SaffronTea]

Power expenditure is far lower than power production, but still crashing as if there isn't enough power. Only using green energy, prison been working fine until I added more buildings that use power, but the
power production is: 19269
usage is: 4739

This got me too and lead me to only use power stations, i tried really hard to use the green energy but sometimes its just too much work. That said im going to assume that you have one transformer connected to the prison and also connected to the green energy items. Essentially you have massive power production, but only 5000 can be used per transformer. therefore each transformer is one 5000 power station so you need to build separate power transformers and have them wired through out your prison as if you have multiple power stations. also they can not all be connected to the same green energy items, you must break apart your 20000 into 4 totally independent transformer stations and power sources so they're each using 5000 power. its never mentioned, *if it is its not well put* but now i only use power stations as they take up much less space then the 4 independent stations outside my prisons.
