steam turbine 'power wasted' calculation has changed

There is a steam turbine above the double hydra near the middle of the asteroid that has been running 100% for last five cycles.

At the time of saving there are no loads on the connected wires hence wated power.

Note graph shows jump of 1000kJ (Kilo joules) over the 600s cycle this is a power of 1.6KW  (energy/time=power)

There are also solar panels and a few uncontrolled steam turbines, e.g. on iron volcanoes and rocket silo. They will all waste power if the batteries ever get full.

correction and more information

The calculation of steam turbine's output power seems to be double or more when new cycle starts

Checking all previous cycles before the update, the steam turbines excess power was consistently less while nothing changed

It does appear the power wasted calculation is incorrect. I set up a single unconnected hydrogen generator as in attached picture.

Ran it for a cycle and looked at report. Wasted power should be 800W x 600s = 480Kj.

Report indicates 2400kj. 5 times proper value. Don't have an easy way to measure what is was before the update.

Most of your wasted power is due to the steam turbines on the gold volcano.

After the update these turbines are getting Engie's Tune- Up increasing the power output and hence the power wasted.

You could disallow tinker on the turbines.

They are disallowed at cycle 900+ where I am currently. The wasted energy is the same and it gets that way on autosaved cycle starts
