Power Lines



''Due to unknowns before game balancing takes place, capacities will be labeled by numbers. These numbers simply form a rudimentary hierarchy that shows that a type of power line is better, worse or equal to any other given power line.''

Wooden Power Poles

Load 2

These lines are owned solely by your company and thus are cheaper to maintain and have slightly higher capacity. In USA and Canada they are available from near the beginning of the game.

Wooden Utility Poles

Load 1

These lines are joint owned by your company and telegraph/telephone/cable TV/internet, thus are more expensive to maintain and have slightly lower capacity. However, they are the cheapest poles in the game to purchase and install. In USA and Canada they are available from the beginning of the game.

Steel Power Poles

Load 2

These lines are owned solely by your company and thus are cheaper to maintain and have slightly higher capacity. In USA and Canada they are available from 2000 onward.

High Tension
High capacity lines that must be connected to substations, as houses cannot handle the output.

High Tension Line

Load 4

High capacity steel towers with the lines strung between them. Available from 1950 onward.

Superconductor Line

Load 5

High capacity steel towers with carbon nanotube lines strung between them. Available from 2025 onward.

Tesla Tech
Wireless transmission for the alternate universe expansion.

Coil Relay

Load 2

A metal Tesla coil that extends the range of the power transmission. Available from 1890 onward.

MagnaCoil Relay

Load 3

A neodymium Tesla coil that extends the range of the power transmission farther than an ordinary metal coil. Available from 1945 onward.

Radio Relay

Load 4

A tower that transmits energy via radio waves. Can connect directly to all houses within its large range, even if they have no breakers. Available from 2025 onward.
