For the Old World version, see: Oil Power Plant.

Power Station is a Production Building which consumes Oil to generate electricity, providing it to buildings placed within the power station's range. It requires the  New World Rising DLC and can be built only in the New World.

Productivity

Power station consumes 1 ton of oil in 5 seconds so the consumption rate is 12 tons of oil per minute. Productivity cannot be changed by adjusting working conditions or using items. Some items can affect power stations but they do not affect their productivity. One power station can be provided with enough oil by production from 3 oil wells at default productivity.

If there is not enough workforce available, the power station still functions normally, consuming the same amount of oil per minute and having the same range. The power station stops consuming oil and stops providing electricity only when available workforce is lower than half of the required amount.

Oil used by the power station has to be delivered from the Oil Harbour by trains. The power station has two entry points for trains, placed on the opposite sides of the building. At least one of them needs to be connected via railway to the oil harbour. If both are connected, the trains can also pass through the power station without stopping inside of it.

Providing electricity

For more information, see: Electricity.

Electricity provided by power stations can be used in several ways. One of them is to fulfill the basic need for electricity of  Artistas living in Hacienda Artista Quarters. Another purpose is to increase productivity of various production buildings, multifactories etc. - when electrified their productivity is increased by +100% and their horse carts turn into trucks which transport and load/unload goods much faster. Some buildings, including some production buildings, require electricity and cannot properly function without it.

While a power station has enough oil in its internal storage and enough obrero workforce, it provides electricity to other buildings. Like in case of public buildings, the power station can affect only those buildings which are connected to it by roads and are placed within its range. Its range (dark green) is 48 tiles for dirt roads and 71 tiles for paved streets.
