So I am having trouble terraforming Gaia planets as it costs 10 000. I have only 9000 energy capacity. How to increase this capacity? I have the maximum Power Plant tech so I dont think I have any other option to increase my energy capacity.

You will always get to a cap of 10000, there are other techs that increase the cap, one of which is the Power Hub 2 tech. I forgot the other one, though.

Gotta get them terraforming strategic resources to lower the credit cost.

Edit: Oh, I see you have them already. Besides the power plant and hub techs, there are also the ship power plant techs that increase the cap.

Can you upgrade the power hub in that last screenshot? If not, then you're lacking the tech Planetary Power Grid, which unlocks the second tier power hubs and adds +1000 to the cap. You should have both pre-requisites for it. Consider putting an industry scientist in charge of you physics research to increase the odds of it showing up.

Kind of surprised there isn't a storage structure for energy like the mineral silo, honestly.
