Efficient Electric Heating Plant
The game makes it clear: Small heating plant heats 210m^3 of water with 42 GJ of energy per day. This comes out to be just around 0.5 MW of constant power for 24h, and as we all know, converting electricity to heat is always 100% efficient! So i say, hey, let me heat up my water without the need for transporting coal or oil into this remote area, if i have a perfectly fine 18MW line of power here anyway! This is exactly what this heating plant is all about!
It heats up 700 m^3 of water at the cost of ~1.3MW of power!
Keep in mind that if only, say, 20% of the capacity is used, only 20% of the power will be consumed too!
It is a bit OP, but i’m hoping you are going to use it when you need to, like in very remote areas, or for single buildings like the control tower on the airport.
Heck, maybe some of you are going for a green, solarpunk utopia republic, this would definatelly help, since it produces absolutely no pollution, and the power itself doesnt have to be fossil fuels based.
