This is a good tip, as high level RGs take up a considerable amount of power.

I find it better to have high enough PPs so that my base runs off of 2 out of 3.

No. It still works.
The Storagefacilities doesn't use power when they are down either.

I thought we where discussing how to keep adequate Power for your base.

However I read it wrong and was looking at the storage facilities, not in production.

1) I put all resource collectors outside my walls/minefields at the borders of my city and spaced all around it. Don't care if they get wiped out first - every one I lose adds avail power to the turrets and mortars.
2) All bldgs except bunkers, PPs, and HQ are as far away from the center as I can place them. Already upgraded everything so those bldgs mean nothing now.
3) Storage centers are somewhat exposed but well spaced.
4) Best defended bldgs are PPs and HQ in the center.
5) Defensive units (turrets, mortars, bunkers) are mutually supporting with clear fields of fire - mines are covered by turrets to defeat detection.

In short, most will put me in DP and run out of time before reducing my whole city to rubble. I've seen other tightly packed cities where somebody tries to defend everything - doesn't work - a good herd of megas and air will eventually punch through and with everything packed together - they will quickly wipe it all out.
Got to sacrifice some to preserve a good chunk of the whole thing. With PPs saved and running it's alot easier and quicker to rebuild.
