The Power Plant was the standard power production facility used by the Allies and Soviets during the Second World War.
Background
“ | The standard Power Plant. Power output is directly related to the Power Plant’s condition, so protect them during battles. - Command & Conquer: Red Alert manual |
” |
During the Second World War, both the Soviets and Allies used identical Power Plants that followed a basic building architecture. Basic and Advanced Power Plants share the same aesthetic designs, taken from tested and standard civilian power plant schematics generally used at the time.
Game building
The Power Plant produces 100 power units. This amount is less than sufficient to run a large base, meaning that the more buildings a base has, the more Power Plants it requires to maintain full functionality. It is best to build Advanced Power Plants instead, as they produce a significantly larger power amount.
Power output is directly related to the Power Plant's condition, so they must be protected from enemy fire, as low power decreases production efficiency by 50%.
Legacy
Tiberium universe
In the years following the Second World War, as power-generation technologies advanced, these rudimentary coal-fired plants eventually came to be seen as old-fashioned and no longer sufficient for the power-needs of modern armies, leading to their replacement with more modern power plant designs by the time of the First Tiberium War.
Red Alert universe
By the time of the Third World War, the Allies had replaced these plants with a more efficient design, while the Soviets had replaced them with their own innovative Tesla Reactors.
