Even if you have enough power capacity (e.g. buying enough from a neighbor and your gauge says no excess and no deficit) not all buildings may get power. I wait and wait to hope that the power eventually reaches them, but it seems to be taking a long time! Are there some buildings who use up all the power before it reaches these outlying buildings? Or is it because my road system has a lot of dead ends that are not being reached?
I was trying to funnel people into my city and cut down on traffic by dead ending a lot of roads. This was the problem. I repeat, this IS the problem. Dead ending streets causes power issues no matter how much juice you throw at your city.
I would have to agree. I have a lot of dead end streets too, to try to control traffic.
