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.
