Old Power Plant (1930s)

Coal power plant wich employs 26 workers producing 12,6 MW (historical data). It provides 1 high voltage and 2 low voltage connections. It uses 1 aggregate convoyer link as main input and 2 vehicle stations as auxiliary.

It might be useful as medium plant for early stages of the game, not too expensive nor too much consumption for the historical timeframe but quite considerable pollution.

Also the HV transformer building is added to work standalone, in the role of a LV substation.

Little story-roleplay:
I modeled it approximately after a plant built in year 1929 in northern Spain by a mining company as power station for their facilities but also for exports to other industries and towns. It was constructed just besides another 1919 plant I already recreated in my previous mod ( https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2720947447 ), they can be put together, as seen in some above screenshots, to resemble the real building and to get some additional power (although originally the first plant was decommissioned and the building used only as storage and offices).

It had 2 german boilers and 2 swedish turbines with high efficiency for their time. It was feed with coal by railroad also as seen in screenshots although it is advisable to put a little storage between the unloader and plant itself since internal storage is 60 tons (3 days of full operation) unless your rail net is fast enough. Check if internal storage is full easily just looking at the 2-inbound convoyers in the main building since they visually show aproximate amounts of coal.

Around year 1950 it was upgraded again with a new section housing 2 additional american boilers, and one powerful swiss turbogenerator reaching up 12.600 Kw. The plant had a very long operating lifetime until so late as the early 1970s when it was disconnected and abandoned. Today it is a museum.
