SimCity 2000 Wind Turbines: Learn about their power generation, pollution, and capacity based on weather and elevation.

Wind Turbines in SimCity 2000 function similarly to hydroelectric dams in that they last indefinitely, occupy a single tile, and do not generate pollution. However, their power generation is significantly lower, requiring hundreds of them to power a moderately-sized city, creating what are known as wind farms.

The capacity of each Wind Turbine is influenced by weather and elevation; higher elevations generally yield more power.

Tips
  • Build Wind Turbines in clusters to form wind farms for greater power output.
  • Consider elevation when placing Wind Turbines to maximize their power generation.
  • While they don't generate pollution, their low individual output means they require significant space.
