Combined-Cycle Power Station

Description
A combined-cycle power plant uses both a gas and a steam turbine together to produce up to 50 percent more electricity from the same fuel than a traditional simple-cycle plant. The waste heat from the gas turbine is routed to the nearby steam turbine, which generates extra power.

This power station is balanced to be an alternative to starting a city with the default wind turbine. It is slightly more cost effective per week in exchange for a higher upfront cost.
It does compete slightly with the default coal power plant, however I believe it will encourage some difficult decisions regarding efficiency over base cost.

It is a little poly-heavy, but not so much more so than some of the skyscraper assets I've seen while being exponentially more detailed.
Despite the high number of polygons, this asset is extremely optimized.

Very nice! Can't wait to further devastate my Cim's property values!

How do I get the steam to come out ? I forgot...totally.I have 65 mods and can't remember

I enjoy using this power station, however it is not a combined cycle. It is actually a simple cycle, or "peeker" combustion turbine.

From engineering perspective, this plant is called Cogeneration, and it does provide more power with the same resources.

This is a beautiful plant! Great job!

Excellent asset! I have a question though: what should I do it the power plant has run out of fuel? Btw my city does have oil industry, but once one of my combined-cycle plants has run out of fuel, it does not get filled up again. The other one (right next to it) is working fine and getting filled up constantly.

This asset is freaking awesome. I've been using it as emergency power source for when lightning strikes out an electricity pylon - I've got backup power networks and flip the switch on the power stations while I go hunting for the broken pylon.

thanks for the incredible high quality on all these assets that you make - its truly top notch work

Well balanced and looks great - perfect for early game cities. Excellent mod; thanks for taking the time to make it :)
