This is amazing technology - but I'm curious as to how unusual it is? The article says "It feeds (fed) power from the Scattergood Steam Plant in El Segundo to a distribution center near Bundy and S.M. Blvd."
Are most power stations and distribution centres connected in a similar way? Or are they typically co-located?
i.e. are there loads of cables like this, and if not why did they do it in this case?

If the email is using distribution in the sense that the Wikipedia article is, then it's because the consumers of the power aren't next to the power station.
