![]() ![]() Skip the Oil Power and wait until you unlock the Solar Power plant at 20.000 citizens. Besides saving upkeep this will also lower pollution. If your map supports it then you can start replacing coal power as soon as you unlock the advanced wind turbines at 2600 citizens. Eventually you will be forced to use Coal Power because they provide 40 MW (6 Wind Turbines). They will cost you a bit more but their low upkeep keep your finances healthy. Always choose Wind Turbines as long as you can plop them for 6 MW or better. SummaryĪt the start of the game you have to choose between Wind Turbines and Coal Power plants. This Incineration plant just send out 6 garbage trucks. Therefore it is 16 times more expensive than the Solar Power Plant. Mainly because their €1440 weekly upkeep means each MW will cost you a whopping €120. However they should not be relied upon as a source of power. Incineration plant also produce 12 MW of power. This hydro dam only produces 32 MW at a cost of €3200 per week! Incineration plant Therefore it can be extremely expensive (when it is generating 90 MW) or very cheap. Note that you can actually get an estimate from the in-game tool tip while dragging out this building. The power output ranges from 0 to 1600 MW depending on the water height difference. The Hydro power plant is a flexible building that can be constructed across any river within your territory. Recommendation: Only place Wind Turbines in dark blue zones. A water based Advanced Wind Turbine can rival a Coal Power Plant at 3 MW. ![]() A land based Wind Turbine can rival a Coal Power Plant in terms of upkeep at 7 MW.Moving this Wind Turbine will increase the electricity produced from 3 MW to 7 MW!īut what is the point where Wind Turbines no longer make sense? I did some calculations and came to the following conclusion Therefore it is probably a bad idea to spam the entire map with Turbines. Secondly they create a lot of noise pollution. First of all Wind Turbines generate MW based on their placement. A Truck is delivering a fresh load of coal so the Coal Power Plant can continue to function! Wind Turbinesīefore jumping to conclusions you must realize that there are some mechanics in place. However by that time you will have access to the superior Solar Power plant. An endgame alternative would be to use a Train Cargo Station to import coal. So it is very important to have a working road connection that is linked to the outside highway. Meaning that a truck full of coal will have to drive to the coal plant and deliver it’s coal. When their coal reserves drop they will order in coal from “off map”. A new Coal Power Plant will have 9 weeks worth of coal stored. When constructed they will come with 9 weeks worth of coal. Nuclear Power only makes sense when you need space or lack the cash needed for solar power.Ĭoal Power plants burn actual coal in order to function. ![]()
