Substation names are rendered at zoom 16+. Maybe also displaying the 
name at z15 would be ok but lower than that I'm afraid the map is going 
to get too cluttered. I agree that city labels should be suppressed at 
low zooms. It looks ugly otherwise.

I'm still lacking support for power=plant although this feature was 
approved last year and increasingly used.

Agree, the background map is too faint. It would also be nice to have a 
selectable background map together with adjustable transparency.

They are rendered. They are just very uncommon in Europe. In the US 
you'll find a lot of 345 kV lines.
