The "simple" selection of substation mistakenly adds the tag power=station. It should be power=sub_station.

You can blame the Germans for that one. When they invented the tags, they used "power=generator" for what we would call a power station/power plant, "power=station" for what we would call a substation, and "power=sub_station" for what we would call a transformer. It sucks. But that's the way it is, last time I checked.
