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.
*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.
*Power flows through Wind power plants generate more power at higher wind speed. [[roads]] to reach various [[zones]] and [[ploppables|structuresCities]]at higher altitude have greater wind speed.
Power can also be brought from neighboring cities in a [[region]]===Coal Power PlantsPlant===: ''Main article: [[File:wind_power_plant.gif|300px|thumb|right|Wind 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]].
===Wind Power Plant===: ''Main article: *They are perfect for a [[Wind power plantMining]]''Wind power plants are cheap and clean but they generate very little powerspecialized cities.
*They are perfect for early game or small townsCoal power plants generate a large amount of air pollution. Air pollution lowers the land value of nearby area.
Wind speed in an area determines the ===Oil Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[Oil Power Plant]]''Oil power output of the wind plants function similar to coal power plantplants. They generate more power and cost more to build and upkeep than coal power plants.
*Wind Oil power plant generates more will generate air pollution, although they produce less pollution than coal power at higher wind speedplants.
===Coal Power Plant===Oil power plant needs to continously burn [[oil]] in order to remain operational.
===*Oil Power Plant===can be drilled from ground or purchased from your neighboring city or the [[Global Market]].

===Solar Power Plant===
: ''Main article: [[Solar 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. Construction of additional [[Solar Power Plant#Modules|solar panels]] require a lot of space.
*Note that the generation of power is based on peak hours and no power will be generated during the night. The city runs on battery power at night.
===Nuclear Power Plant===
: ''Main article: [[Nuclear Power Plant]]''
Although expensive, nuclear power plant is able to generate a massive amount of clean energy for your 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.
*Please note that there are radiation pollution and meltdown risks, but only when operated by uneducated Sims.
===Fusion Power Plant===
: ''Main article: [[Fusion Power Plant]]''
The Fusion Power Plant is a futuristic power plant 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 grid. 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.
===Wave Power Plant===

Placed along the shoreline, this power plant generates small amounts of cheap, clean power.
