These plants require their fuel supplies to be regularly replenished, so if there is traffic congestion in the city these buildings will cease production when fuel supplies run out. At night, output drops to 70% of the daytime value.Ĭoal and Oil based power produces heavy ground and noise pollution.

Solar production varies with the daytime sunlight intensity, and therefore varies greatly with the weather. Wave Power Plants, like the wind turbines, produce more power when placed in windy areas. Noise from the Advanced Wind Turbine can be less of an issue as placing them in the water can keep them far enough from city buildings. Off-shore wind power (Advanced Wind Turbine, Wave Power Plant) is far more efficient than land-based wind power, but must be placed on water. Wind power produces significant noise pollution, and production varies greatly with the weather. Each power supply, except for the nuclear, have inconveniences.

The utility of wind and hydro-electric power will also depend on the natural geography of the terrain. Power plants usually cause some ground and/or noise pollution, which should be taken into consideration when deciding the type and placement of power generators. The choice of how to generate this power is up to the player, there are multiple different options each with their upsides and downsides. The challenge for a mayor is to supply enough power to meet these demands, as well as ensuring that all parts of the city are connected to the power grid. Like water and sewage, the demand for electricity varies between different buildings. Citizens and businesses in your zoned areas will only tolerate being without power for a short time before they move out. Most public buildings will not be able to operate without a supply of electricity. Power is an essential requirement for nearly every building in your city.
