Electricity is generated at power plants. There are 8 power plants to choose from depending on what resources are available.

Having electricity in a city will allow citizens to work at night. A ringworld automatically supplies all cities on it with enough electricity for basic living, but power plants are required to power military bases.

Electricity is required for some manufacturing processes, other processes generally get a processing time reduction. Construction time of buildings is also decreased.

Electricity is added to a city's power reserve, which is then used over time. Electricity can be traded with spacecraft, each power generator holds one unit. It cannot be held in the personal inventory, no matter how hard you try.

City trading does not trade electricity using any trade connections apart from roads.

Electricity is always TL32 and Q255.
