Learn about Oil Power Plants in SimCity 2000: expensive but reliable, with half the pollution of coal plants.
Oil power plants have a somewhat high unit cost, making them expensive for a starting power plant. However, they are fairly reliable workhorses. They generate only roughly half the pollution that coal plants do. If your city becomes very large, you will have to build a large number of these to keep up with demand. They are good for smaller to mid-size cities.
Tips
- Consider the unit cost when choosing a starting power plant.
- Oil power plants are a good option for reducing pollution compared to coal.
- For very large cities, you will need many oil power plants to meet energy demands.
- Best suited for smaller to mid-size cities.
