New to this game. Am I doing this right?

Well, looks all nice and clean to me.
You can only tell if you were doing it right if you demand the max power out of your coal gens: this will be the moment of truth.
I once had (by accident) included lower tier belts in my coal gen factory, everything looked ok until my factory needed more power: thats when the gens didn't get enough coal and when their buffer was empty my power grid went down :-(

I made sure to upgrade the coal feed so it pushes as much as the generators can consume. Thanks for the heads up!

try to create separete loop something like back up generator - Im running 8x coal generator + 3x water extractors per 120coal - meanwhile one coal generator has separete loop/power grid which includes mine/mines + water extractors and pumps - water extractor eats 20MW, mk1 eats 5MW, pump eats 4MW - coal genarator generates 75MW (so if you have pure coal nod, you can cover all of that easilly by one coal generator)
if you use this, even if you manage to get over your limit, you can easily reset it without running all the way back to your power plant

Looks fine. Next step would be to try and condense it some while still having it functional.

Nope, totally wrong.

Needs more spaghet. /s
Actually looks nice and orderly and easy to tell what's going on, nice job.
