How to get Planetary Power Grid
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 70) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.

}Planetary Power Grid: questions
How do I get Planetary Power Grid in Stellaris?
Research Global Energy Management and Colonial Centralization first (6 technologies in the whole chain); then Planetary Power Grid can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.
What does Planetary Power Grid do?
It unlocks Chloroplastic Cyst (building), Energy Nexus (building), Ministry of Energy (building), Arkship Energy Hub (starbase building) and Ring Energy Hub (starbase building).
What is the ID of Planetary Power Grid?
The technology's ID is tech_power_hub_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_power_hub_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Planetary Power Grid cost?
3,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
