How would a steam powered machine in one place provide power to towns that are far away?

I am building a work in which steam plays a vital role. I would like to include the idea that much of the power for the people is being provided by a central machine that is isolated in one place but provides power to many places. Obviously, steam would cool down and condense if it was piped long distances, so what creative alternatives are there for distributing steam energy?
