+1 for deprecating power=station but I also see a problem with using power=sub_station for all now. I think there is a difference between big substations and the real small ones (tagged with as substations right now). Even if it is only a difference in voltage, we will loose this information. Also I would have to either tag the object as substation and transformer or add another node for the transformer (rarely visible) within the closed way. Think we aswell need a tag for power plants as I often have problems to tag the power=generator on big power plants and some even have more than one. Where should I add my tags, to the real generators or the whole area ? As the power=* tags seem to be more isolated than some other tags it might be possible to try a complete but carefully redesigning once we have clarified the meanings and there translations. This will hopefully include correcting misspelled tags.
