Role in the city

Wind and solar plants add low-pollution electricity. Their output is moderate, so they work best as distributed support before demand spikes.

Placement advice

Place them outside the residential core but still on a clean road connection. This limits land value loss while keeping utility expansion simple.

When to build or upgrade

Add them when power demand approaches supply, especially before opening another district.
