Houses without power will become abandoned. Commercial and Industrial buildings without power will remain closed. Most [[ploppables]] require power to function. Various [[#Power Plants|power plant]]s can be constructed to generate power. Power can also be brought from neighboring cities.

*Houses without power will become abandonedPower flows through [[roads]] to reach various [[zones]] and [[ploppables|structures]].

*Commercial ==Power Plants=====Wind Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[Wind Power Plant]]''Wind power plants are cheap and Industrial buildings without clean but they generate very little power will remain closed.

Various power plants can be built to generate power*They are ideal for early game or small towns.

Wind power plants generate more power at higher wind speed. [[Cities]] at higher altitude have greater wind speed.  ===Coal Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[Coal Power Plant]]''Coal power plants can generate a decent amount of power at a reasonable price. A single coal power plant can power a large city. A continuous stream of [[coal]] is needed for a coal power plant to remain operational. Coal can be mined from the ground or purchased from your neighboring cities or the [[Global Market]]. *They are perfect for a [[Mining]] specialized cities. Coal power plants generate a large amount of air pollution. Air pollution lowers the land value of nearby area. ===Oil Power flows through Plant===: ''Main article: [[roadsOil Power Plant]] ''Oil power plants function similar to coal power plants. They generate more power and cost more to build and upkeep than coal power plants. Oil power plant will generate air pollution, although they produce less pollution than coal power plants. *They will lower the land value of surrounding areas. Oil power plant needs to reach various continously burn [[zonesoil]] and in order to remain operational. *Oil can be drilled from ground or purchased from your neighboring city or the [[ploppables|structuresGlobal Market]].

Power can also be brought from neighboring cities in a [[region]]==Power Plants=====Wind Solar Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[File:wind_power_plantSolar Power Plant]]''The solar power plant provides clean and cheap energy for a smaller city. The buildings have relatively high costs to build, but low upkeep costs.gif|300px|thumb|right|Wind Construction of additional [[Solar Power Plant#Modules|solar panels]]require a lot of space.

: ''Main article: [[Wind *Note that the generation of power plant]]''Wind is based on peak hours and no power plants are cheap and clean but they generate very little will be generated during the night. The city runs on battery powerat night.

*They are perfect ===Nuclear Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[Nuclear Power Plant]]''Although expensive, nuclear power plant is able to generate a massive amount of clean energy for early game or small townsyour city and [[region]]. To operate a nuclear power plant safely, an educated workforce is needed. Your city should have institutions of high learning such as [[Community College]] and [[University]] in place. Otherwise you run the risks of radiation leakage and meltdown. Additionally, a nuclear power plant requires [[water]], lots of it. A [[Water Pumping Station]] should be in place.

Wind speed in an area determines the power output of the wind power plant*Please note that there are radiation pollution and meltdown risks, but only when operated by uneducated Sims.

*Wind ===Fusion Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[Fusion Power Plant]]''The Fusion Power Plant is a futuristic power plant generates more that can supply "clean, massive amounts of electricity". Note that these require a massive amount of ControlNet and require a jump start ignition from an already existing power at higher wind speedgrid. This means that it is impossible to build an independent city with the first power plant as a fusion reactor unless you have a neighboring city with power up for sale.

*Wind speed is higher at higher altitude===Wave Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[Wave Power Plant]]''Placed along the shoreline, this power plant generates small amounts of cheap, clean power.
