No Power?

Can't seem to figure out why my city has no power...

800 infr, 70K pop, 1300 sq mi

4xfarms

5x coal mine, 5x coal power, 1x iron mine

That's all I have left.  I got rid of 1xbarrack, 1xsupermarket, 1xbank and 1xfarm trying to figure out why I had no power. 

Still, no power.  How is that possible? 

TIA

oh, I got rid of a recycling center too.  Still no power

First off, you don't need 6 coal power plants. One can power up to 500 infrastructure, so you need two of them.

Next, you might want to buy a bit of coal on the market to jump-start you. This, along with decreasing the amount of coal mines you have (because they need coal to work), should get you set up nicely.

You can also check if you're losing coal (which I'm assuming is the most likely case) on the Revenue tab (between Projects and Military in the sidebar)

Thanks for the reply.  I didn't think I needed that many.  I've been adding them trying to figure out why I still have no power.  I've made sure that I always am running a net positive on coal.  I have coal in reserves.

jfsng, I now have 3 coal mines and 2 coal power

Still, no power for city, ughh..

1) buy coal from the trade market so your cities get powered (you should transition to 1 nuclear power soon since it powers up to 2000)

2) it's better to focus on one type of raw and stack as much of that mine as possible so you get a production bonus (the maximum is 10) 

3) your city has 800 infrastructure, so you will need to have 2 coal power plants to power it (each coal power plants powers up to 500)

4) use the other remaining slots you have on military (if your alliance allows you to raid, go for it and you can get money and resources that way 😎)

5) hope this will be helpful! 🙂

If you're making an excess of coal, you won't have power until after the turn, but it should be powered afterwards. 

Hey Krampus, the signature edit is under account settings. Actually, here's the link.

Power back after the turn.  Guess I didn't understand changes are delayed in some instances.  Thanks all!

Yeah you need the coal in advance to run the plant. I've learned this the hard way many a time 🤐
