there are power lines they are on the roads connecting the buildings in the power plant radius

I think what the OP would want is to place his/her own power lines. For me that makes more sense than what 1800 is currently using.

For example, each power plant can provide electricity to 100 tiles, so I would have the option to build power poles on a street that is 100 tiles long and get the power to exactly where I need it to go instead of it simply spreading out in all directions to where I may not need it to be.

As long as this increases the oil needed by the power plant in proportion to how much area it's covering, AND there is a limit to how large an area one power plant can supply...
Otherwise, this would make the whole railway system next to meaningless, as there is no other use for it than to transport oil to power plants.

I can see that point also, but maybe as City B. Write with 100 tiles. or cover a bigger area would also do it.
