On analogue, yes - they can broadcast at any power up to their licensed power.

On digital they can’t - the entire multiplex has to be the same power (although this can be less than the licenced power).  
Using stronger error checking requires more bandwidth, which results in less space for stations, but has the ability is being able to be received with weaker reception. Using a weaker error checking is the opposite, and neither options change the cost of electricity.
