Coal Power Plant is one of two sources of electricity in the game. It generates both Electricity Tokens Token electricity.png and electricity for the electrical network burning coal Icon coal.png mined at the Coal Mines.

Processes

The base building produces 1 Electricity Token Token electricity.png burning 4 units of coal Icon coal.png every 3 Game ticks. There are 4 extensions available, three of which are increasing the token production by burning more coal faster. The fourth one (the Waste Burner) adds new process, producing 1 Electricity Token Token electricity.png burning 6 units of garbage Icon waste.png every 2 Game ticks. Fully upgraded Coal Power Plant generates 3.3 Electricity Tokens Token electricity.png burning 7.3 units of coal Icon coal.png and 3 units of waste Icon waste.png every Game tick.
Second process is increasing network capacity to electrify Link=Electrification the industry. The base building adds 8 units and each extension adds 3 more to a total capacity of 20 more industrial complexes and/or cities.

Please note: While a fully upgraded power station generates more Electricity Tokens Token electricity.png faster, it also burns through the fuel supply at the adjacent station much faster. The power plant generates electricity for your connected industry only when there is fuel available, otherwise all the connected industries lose the electrification bonus. It is advisable to upgrade the power plant only after you have well established supply line with sufficient fuel reserve.
