Most [[ploppables]] require power to function. Various [[#Power Plants|power plants plant]]s can be built constructed to generate power. Power can also be brought from neighboring cities.
*Power flows through [[roads]] to reach various [[zones]] and [[ploppables|structures]].
==Power Plants==
===Wind Power Plant===
: ''Main article: [[Wind Power Plant]]''
Wind power plants are cheap and clean but they generate very little power.
*They are perfect ideal for early game or small towns.
Wind speed in an area determines the power output of the wind power plant. *Wind power plant generates plants generate more power at higher wind speed, which is higher . [[Cities]] at higher altitudesaltitude 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 [[MetalsMining]] specialized cities.
Coal power plants generate a large amount of air pollution. Air pollution lowers the land value of nearby area.
===Oil Power Plant===
: ''Main article: [[Oil 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.
===Solar Power Plant===
: ''Main article: [[Solar Power Plant]]''
*They are more expensive than wind power plants but they can be placed anywhere in Note that the city. Solar generation of power plants generate more is based on peak hours and no power will be generated during the day than at night. Like wind The city runs on battery power plants, solar power plants can take up a lot of spaceat night.
===Nuclear Power Plant===
: ''Main article: [[Nuclear Power Plant]]''
===Fusion Power Plant===: ''Main article: [[Fusion Power Plant]]''The downside to Fusion Power Plant is a nuclear 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 risk of nuclear meltdownfirst power plant as a fusion reactor unless you have a neighboring city with power up for sale.
