first what did you mean by "i have 2 or 3 of them"? have you got stations ? nuclear power ? gas/coal power ?
second - electriity depends on how many workers and amount of stocks (coal,gas. ...) have you got/import
third - important thing is how many buildings consuming electricity have you got in one area
fourth - you can always build more electricity stations and wind turbines

by clicking on any facility producing the electricity (like power plant, wind turbine etc) you can check the exact amount of electricity produced and consumed by your island. If consumed amout is higher than produced one you should increse the electricity production. However, as mentioned before, your casinos/hotels may be out of the electricity influence radius. All you need to do then is either to build wind turbine close to the hotel/casino or build electricity grid in order to extend the radius. :house:

Some additions/corrections to the post before:

To 2) At least the power plant which is driven by gas don't need any imports. Never tried the coal one, so I'm not sure about this one. Nuclear power needs to import uranium, that's for sure.

To 3) All output is counted together on one island, even if the areas don't overlap. You can put a wind turbine on a remote hill and a big uranium power plant on the coast and consume the combined output on the hill, no problem.

The output of coal/gas/uranium power plants depends on the number of workers and their current working experience! Workers will try to get the job with the best working conditions for their qualification. If the working conditions (wages!) are the same, they will still try to keep the different facilities filled up to the same degree.

If you want them to stick to the power plants, raise the wages a little bit.

press Layouts, see eletricity, if zone is not added, put one more antenna, if its red, built another nuclear, sun, any other station

If they sometimes lose power, it's probably power plant engineers finding new jobs.
