Transport is the thorn in every city councilвЂ™s side - desperately expensive, dirty, noisy and terrible for the climate. Population 20,000: solar power reaches Hopenhagen Transport But also it does not give the option of exporting and importing power from a national grid to even out the peaks and troughs. The game does not account for the dips in renewable supply that occur at night or on still or cloudy days. Luckily my city had constant sunlight as well as wind. Power from large-scale solar is half the price it was five years ago and is approaching parity with coal and other fossil fuels. The fall in solar prices has been vertiginous.

The game is a little ahead of its time in making solar the cheapest form of electricity production - although this could happen within a decade. By tapping its own enormous wind power resources, Copenhagen aims to become the first carbon neutral city in the world by 2025.Д®ventually my city grew enough to build a solar power plant. Coal is the dirtiest of dirty fuels and there is no place for it in the cities of the future. Coal is significantly cheaper than wind, but environmentally the choice is a no-brainer. The game allows you to start with wind or coal power. The first order was to provide power for my would-be denizens. Hopenhagen survives solely on wind power.
