Okay, have a question regarding nuclear power, since it's new to me.

I know that nuclear power is basically cheap electricity. What I'd like to understand is how to go about the process of purchasing it on world trade and selling it to my corps.

If I already have a strategic supply of "regular" electricity at the high rate, and buy nuke power, does the price average out? Or would I have to build my own nuke plant and contract out to get the nuke price?

If I buy nuke power and then sell it to my corps do they pay the (a)nuke price (b)the averaged price (c)the regular electricity price or (d)something completely different?

As always, thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

Nuclear power is converted to electricity when purchased. Contracts by the State or enterprise is sold as electricity. Contracts by the plant is sold as nuclear power.

Synicus,
Thanks. I knew that it got converted to electricity at time of purchase, what I need clarification on is the pricing.

On LU last month electric was market price 104k, while nuclear was a bit over 78k. What I wanted to do was buy nuclear at 78 on world trade, then sell it to my corps.

But I have 250k of electricity in my strategic reserve and I was afraid that if I bought nuclear and then sold to my corps they would pay the 104k that "regular" electric was going for, which wouldn't help me or my corps.

Hope that explains a little better than my first post.
