As part of the Project mission, I would think that the Power Teams would have two missions:

1) To provide immediate power to critical locations, like emplacing portable fusion plants near a town center to provide power to a hospital, communications center, water supply and purification, manufacturing site, and shared refrigeration location, all arranged or relocated to be adjacent to the power source. In this capacity, they would emplace the power supply somewhere an existing field Team could monitor and protect it, and move on.

2) To assist the populace in restoring existing power generation, transformation, and transmission equipment. The Project can never provide all of the equipment for a complete power grid, so after they have emplaced their portable systems, the next step is to take relevantly skilled workers from the populace and start getting the existing infrastructure running again. This happens only after an area has been reasonably secured, of course.

Permanently-placed Power Teams, as in Desert Search? Zero value in them. Too hard to predict where they will be needed to support the populace, and if the goal it to power Project needs... place the power systems WITH the Project needs.
