Game building

This power plant provides a large amount of power, a few of these are sufficient for a large base. Power output is directly related to the power plant's condition, so protect them during battles.

As advanced power plants generate 200 units of power for $500, they are more cost-efficient than standard power plants.

In the 0.09c beta version of Red Alert, the Advanced Power Plant has a cost of $700, equal to that of the Tiberian Dawn Advanced Power Plant. This made the Advanced Power Plant less cost-efficient than the basic Power Plant, while at the same demanding more build space.

Behind the scenes

It bears a strong resemblance to Battersea Power Station.
