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

Processes

The base building produces 1 Electricity Token burning 4 units of coal 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 burning 6 units of garbage every 2 Game ticks. Fully upgraded Coal Power Plant generates 3.3 Electricity Tokens burning 7.3 units of coal and 3 units of waste every Game tick.
Beware of the fact that Waste Burner increases pollution zone around the whole plant by 1.
Third process is increasing network capacity to electrify 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 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.
