Power Plant Analysis Don't just eyeball the price per MW-h (megawatt hour) to judge the value of each plant. Total Value here can show the amount you pay per MW-h over the plant's entire lifespan. The lower this number, the better your power plant will serve you in the long run. The formula works like this: Total Value = (Price / (MWh * lifespan) ) * 100
Coal Power Plant Year Available: 1900 Price: §5,000 Output: 6,000 MW-h Price per MW-h: §0.83 Lifespan: 70 years Total Value: 1.19 Note: Creates extremely high amounts of pollution.
Oil Power Plant Year Available: 1900 Price: §8,500 Output: 7,000 MW-h Price per MW-h: §1.21 Lifespan: 70 years Total Value: 1.73 Note: Causes heavy pollution, but not as much as Coal Plants.
Gas Power Plant Year Available: 1955 Price: §4,500 Output: 3,000 MW-h Price per MW-h: §1.50 Lifespan: 80 years Total Value: 1.25 Note: Pollutes, but less than Coal and Oil Plants.
Nuclear Power Plant Year Available: 1960 Price: §20,000 Output: 16,000 MW-h Price per MW-h: §1.25 Lifespan: 60 years Total Value: 2.08 Note: Risk of Nuclear Meltdown causing permanent radiation pollution when running at over 100% capacity.
Wind Power Plant Year Available: 1980 Price: §250 Output: 200 MW-h Price per MW-h: §1.25 Lifespan: 120 years Total Value: 1.04 Note: Must be placed at high elevations for full output.
