[OSM-talk] Is there a tag for electrical substations?

[Archimedeus B]

Hi All,

I am looking for a tag for electrical substations. I am not sure if this is
the right translation. In German it is called "Umspannwerk" which is
technically unprecise but well understood. It looks like this:

The explanation is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_substation
If there is no tag, I'd like to propose power=substation for areas and
nodes. I might invent a symbol later.

This one is bigger than the usual little transformer houses in living areas
(BTW. how are these tagged?).
