actually in German a substation is called Umspannwerk (transformer station) 
while a power plant aka station is called Kraftwerk. The word Station has a lot 
of different meanings but is AFAIK not used for power something, see also here 
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Station

Don't blame the Germans for everything ;-)
