Power reserve and consumption is now reported on the city report for new style cities.
Power reserve capacity is the sum of the capacitor space in all the buildings.
Power reserve is the current amount of power stored.
Power consumption is the number of units of power consumed since the last city report cycle.
I have seen a lot of players be confused about these numbers in the past.
The amount of power consumed since the last city report cycle is a very useless number when we don't know how much was produced.
Even better would likely be to flatout show the amount of power needed on average and amount produced on average.
To be fair, I would love to see electricity behave differently from normal commodities.
Have power plants produce a static amount of power based on job amount per tick. Then have static power consumption be subtracted and use the remaining output to recharge batteries in power plants and military installations. If not enough static power is produced, drain some from power plant batteries.
