Wind Energy
Wind energy wil be added to Simcountry.
The system has several components and the first one is added to Simcountry with this upgrade.
Wind energy will be produced by wind farms that will be setup in countries around all worlds.
Each wind farm will include 250 wind turbines.
Wind turbines in Simcountry are very large and capable of producing large amounts of electric power. Wind turbines can be costly; the standard price, before market influence is 24 million.
A wind turbine can produce 60 million kWh (60 GW) year.
Wind turbines can only be installed as part of wind farms that are comprised of 250 wind turbines and become significant producers of electric power that is free of any CO2 emissions.
Wind turbines are the first new generation energy product in Simcountry. The intention is to start a transition from the traditional fossil energy based products to renewable energy and make it also possible to introduce CO2 measurements and an index that will reflect the energy use by each country.
The production of electric power from wind farms will be taken care of by wind farm maintenance corporations. These corporations will exploit the wind farms, use materials that are needed to keep such wind farms running and will deliver electric power to the country where the wind farm resides at the going rate for electric power.
Total production will be 60GW x 250 per year or 1250 GW per month.
Wind Turbines are now added to Simcountry.
It is now possible to build wind Turbines corporations. These corporations can produce 1200 wind turbines each year when running at a production rate of 100%. Actual production can be lower or higher depending on the way the corporation is operated and the availability of manpower and materials.
Wind Turbines can currently be traded on all worlds and can be stored by countries or enterprises.
Wind farms corporations will be added in one of the next game upgrade and will start to be produced and delivered to countries to start production.
Some tuning will be needed to bring the various methods of producing electric power in line with other methods. Some changes have already aken place and more will materialize.
All methods of energy production will be very profitable.
The issue of CO2 emissions will be addressed at a later stage and will influence the way energy is produced with sufficient incentives for renewable energy. |

Can you please take a look at my message in the “problems” thread |

Maybe you can move wind turbines under Utilities as now industry corporation page is very big while other are quite small. |

This is Dope! |

Love this, thank you Andy! |

Indeed.
It should have been under utilities.
I will check to find out if I can just change the group where it is.
never done this before. |

Keep up the good work, guys. |

Are they profitable? |
| Andy | Monday, January 23, 2023 - 11:08 am
For now, there are no wind farms yet so you can just buy these windturbines and store them.
we will shortly add the wind farms.
they may take a little time to become very profitable but we think they will and will make it possible to make countries less dependent on energy imports. |
