I loaded two stations in sector 3,2,2, each with a factory on it that constantly doesn't have power becuase I never put a power reactor on the station. I then went to sector 2,2,2, and even though I'm not looking at the other sector, I still see the power outage messages on the same spot as if it were actually the other sector. It isn't just a range issue, I can actually fly around those messages. They are in my sector, 2,2,2 , and they are from the sector 3,2,2. If I were to move my stations to 2,2,2 , the messages would be exactly on the two factories.
In the two screenshots I am looking down (so to the negative sectors on the y-axis), and the station is on a different axis (either x or z). So I can't actually see the two stations. I didn't move my ship, and I used admin warp to make sure my in-sector coordinates would be the same. As can be seen, the messages appear on the same spot in the sector.
