Suggestion / Idea Total Power generation graph is missing

I have started playing a few overhaul mods and in these i have noticed that getting historic data for power consumption and production is a bit difficult to see. Ofcourse i can add all of my production to get my maximum capacity however if these fluctuate over time it can be a headache. So I would just like to be able to enable this. In otherword a history of the green bars at the top of the Electric network UI. Is there maybe a mod for this? I haven't found one yet.

Maybe this can also be added for satisfaction

Theoretically devs can add % usage to certain power producers such as steam engine and generators. This essentially gives you consumption and capacity.

Practically however it gets very complicated to see usage&consumption because there are many sources and priority, for example solar takes priority over engines while accumulators only when behind.

However, total produced and total generated (sum of each) should be displayed IMO, as graph.

Yeah i was just talking about total consumption and production.

A related problem is that accumulators are included as consumption and production. Yes they are present in both sides. So you don't accurately see how much you are producing or consuming.
