substations (or switchyards) and power stations
If your "postes" are anywhere in the system, the "substations", but if they are the substations AT power stations, then "switchyards".

: I would avoid the use of the confusing term 'stations' (on its own), as 'stations and substations' would give the appearance of applying to the same type of thing
