Am I doing this right?

Using a Municipal plot: basic power plant in my settlement, but the power output is not Showing in my settlement.
Details on the plot say output is 80, but when connected to the gird the number does not change on the workshop hub and stays red, as does the plots not getting power.
I have tried multiple power plots and used the repair and rebuild power grid tools and only thing that gets me is a green power number in the vanilla hud and still red power requirements on plots. Info bar on the left still shows the same power deficit.
I used the The Wabbajack installer and only have longer power lines and building materials dispenser added to the load order.

Anyone else experienced this, Is there something special I have to do for Municipal power plots? I have a Municipal water plot that is working great.
Edit:
I figured it out, Found the Municipal power pole.
It's been a while....

Yeah, the Municipal Power Pole is the thing that actually outputs the electricity onto the power grid. There was some complex technical reasons why they did it that way, something to do with the fact that a plot's output value can change once it's built from memory.

So this might be a silly question, but why don't power plants just have their default pole set as the municipal pole? Then the player would never notice the difference.

Bearing in mind that I have only a basic grasp of how power really works. I think the issue here would be that you can only have one municipal power pole working at a time. So, each time you built another power plot it would mess about with your power network.

I recently watched thru all the patch notes and in one of them King said each new mpp supercedes the last, so the last one you build is the only one that works that way.

Besides, I meant for it to be something exclusive to power plants...and maybe power distribution buildings.
