time to add these next to highways

I'm from Forney and didn't even know this existed!

i love this asset but it never gets oil delivieries no matter where i place it

thank you

@mizrael77 i think doel nuclear beats this bro, .

5 years later and this is still the best power station in the game. Realistic, easy to build while remaining realistic, scalable, adequate production.

Natural Gas Combustion Turbine stat:
Power output: 228MW
Upkeep: 2682

Natural Gas Combined Cycle stat:
Power output: 456MW
Upkeep 5365

Why the actual stat is not match the table?

heck yeah, this is the perfect thing to place next to my elementary school which is conveniently located in a floodplain with my residential neighborhood.

very nice work!

I found the wikipedia article for this power station: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forney_Energy_Center

that means you have oil power plants, you cant have more then one of a power plant that uses ore, oil, etc.
Driver Kaldie 17 Jul, 2019 @ 4:49am 
It doesn't work for me...Somewhere it says it needs oil-deliveries. If it needs deliveries why isn't natural gas implanted in the game as a resource ?

cool

The up-front construction cost IRL is actually less than nuclear. A 955 MW Natural Gas plant only costs about 900 Million USD. It's cheaper than Solar and Wind even.

Nuclear is super-cheap too, just not in the US or Europe cause we screwed up our industry and regulations. South Korea though... they do awesome at it.

@Badi_Dea do you know of any assets on the workshop that resemble the cooling units (at least I assume that's what they are) behind the real power plant in Forney?
Toemad 1 Jun, 2018 @ 1:54pm 
what are the gas tanks in the background called?
Badi_Dea  [author] 4 Apr, 2018 @ 8:41am 
I'd imagine it's just a door to bring large equipment and machines into the facility, not too sure - they're present on the real thing

@Badi-Dea : Hey mate, what's the little building at the entrance? Just wanted to recreate what you've done here. Thanks!
AbuUmar71206 19 Feb, 2018 @ 6:37am 
best E-Assets out there and thank you for creating this :)
Neoba 15 Dec, 2017 @ 11:45pm 
Im lost for words for how good this is!
Turjan 1 Sep, 2017 @ 3:41pm 
Thanks for the quick info!
Badi_Dea  [author] 1 Sep, 2017 @ 3:36pm 
Thanks all! Yes, this does need oil deliveries.
Turjan 1 Sep, 2017 @ 3:29pm 
This is a very nice asset. One question: does this need oil deliveries?
SuburbanSean 12 Aug, 2017 @ 12:54pm 
I love how accurate this is! It looks almost identical to the real one! I live about 10-20 minutes away from the one this is modeled after! (I live so close I can see the smoke from the plant)

You're assets quallity are as good a ngons, Keep up the great work!
-presh4k 18 Nov, 2016 @ 5:02am 
very. very nice! gonna fill out my water treatment area with these
Overlord 3 Nov, 2016 @ 5:59pm 
@Badi_Dea thank you for explanation :)
Badi_Dea  [author] 3 Nov, 2016 @ 2:49pm 
@Overlord : That's just a unit value in the editor, it doesn't necessarily translate into a currency amount 1:1. For example, the stock Nuke plant with no mods actually has a maintenance cost of 50,000.

I don't have an exact currency amount for the costs of this building since there are so many mods that could change it, I figured it be best just to list what I put in the editor.
The cost value for these buildings is the same as the nuke plant per unit of electricity generated.
Overlord 3 Nov, 2016 @ 11:47am 
The maintenance is really 33 530 ? I mean that is heavy hit on balance if you are not playing with unlimited money mod. Nuclear plant costs 8000 and electricity produced by this is not bad.
Mr.Zombie 26 Oct, 2016 @ 10:33am 
Thanks, I am going to use this and that in my city.
Badi_Dea  [author] 26 Oct, 2016 @ 8:29am 
Mr.Zombie 25 Oct, 2016 @ 8:08pm 
Does this come with those power lines in the first picture?
PHTN 23 Oct, 2016 @ 7:14pm 
Nice, i need this asset for my large power plant and harbor project. Yay! :steamhappy:
Casgar 23 Oct, 2016 @ 11:57am 
@Badi_Dea : Appreciated!

I really like these power plants, and the oil refinery looks interesting too. More distinct (and bigger than 4x4) assets is always welcomed. Keep up the good work!
Badi_Dea  [author] 23 Oct, 2016 @ 9:19am 
@Casgar & @ololololol : Alright, I'll move it up in the priority list - a team of us at Simtropolis are working on an oil refinery I'll find a way to squeeze it into that project, follow the progress here: http://community.simtropolis.com/forums/topic/71613-i-want-to-make-an-oil-refinery-anyone-know-anything-about-the-petroleum-industry/
Casgar 23 Oct, 2016 @ 7:43am 
I support ololololol's suggestion! The ability to have an asset, or modify an already existing asset to produce both heat and electricity is something that I've wanted for some time. The distribution between electricity:heat is somewhere around 1:2 in most cases, but can vary based on the type of power plant in question. A combined cycle can reach 1:1.

Regarding Combined Cycle, it refers to the use of a gas turbine as its primary power production, and a boiler which uses the hot exaust gas from the gas turbine to produce steam for a steam turbine. It doesn't take into account if you use the waste heat for district heating or not.

An example of a power plant that produces both electricity and district heating in a combined cycle is Rya CHP Plant in Gothenburg, Sweden.

ololololol 22 Oct, 2016 @ 2:40pm 
Cool! Thanks!
Badi_Dea  [author] 22 Oct, 2016 @ 12:25pm 
Oh hey, that's not a bad idea! - It would need the sub-building enabled mod to be functional as both power and heating, but totally doable. Probably not going to tackle it with this asset, but I'll throw the idea on to the heap of project plans, thanks!
ololololol 22 Oct, 2016 @ 12:22pm 
I haven't fidled around much with the editor and didn't see a way to do it myself. In real life there many plants (mostly in regions where central heating is needed) where you produce electricity from natural gas, coal, biomass and the heat that is also made in the process is feeded to homes in need of central heating. Would have been nice to have it in the game too, so you don't have to make separate power plants and heating plants.
Badi_Dea  [author] 22 Oct, 2016 @ 12:13pm 
Ah, from what I understand, that is another name for combined-cycle, right?
Since the game doesn't get that detailed, you kinda have to justify it in your head, but the larger module in this asset produces the same polution as the smaller one, they both have only one combustion turbine, but it produces twice the power - the waste heat from the turbine is fed into a traditional steam generator.
ololololol 22 Oct, 2016 @ 12:07pm 
Cogeneration (Combined Heat and Power or CHP) is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat, both of which are used.
Badi_Dea  [author] 22 Oct, 2016 @ 10:12am 
@ololololol Sure, what is it? lol
OleGloomie 22 Oct, 2016 @ 5:06am 
Looks absolutely amazing. Outstanding work!
ololololol 22 Oct, 2016 @ 4:57am 
Cool, would it be possible to make this one into a cogeneration plant?
Chicken Titties 21 Oct, 2016 @ 8:44am 
i live not to far from this plant
Sparks 21 Oct, 2016 @ 8:19am 
One of the best assets on the workshop, looks awsome!
I would follow but your profile is private.
Londsw 21 Oct, 2016 @ 6:56am 
Cool man
Badi_Dea  [author] 20 Oct, 2016 @ 11:52pm 
Thanks folks! I appreciate the comments, i'm just glad you all like it :-)
Eva 20 Oct, 2016 @ 10:27pm 
My god youre a natural. This is so good. Thanks !
girlfromverona 20 Oct, 2016 @ 6:56pm 
Wow! This looks fantastic. Well done and thanks for sharing. :)
