About This File

KK 3R Battery Storage House
Conversion done by Kloudkicker Industries

One power plant that is transit enabled with dual track for train passengers and rail freight, also one the same size but without the rail line.
The old coal plant was retired but the building underwent a conversion and turned into a ancillary battery storage building. Lithium-ion batteries store unused power and supplies the power grid with a ready to go back up power, available in seconds when needed. 
More about this real life practice is found here- https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/Duke-Energy-Installs-4MW-of-Battery-Storage-at-Retired-Coal-Plant

But a Big Thanks goes to Dirktator, the founder of Simtropolis, for starting Simtropolis in 2002. Thank you Everyone

This lot was designed by me(Kloudkicker) and has been tested. Much care has been take to ensure that there are no errors, but this does not mean that errors do not exist. How can anyone ensure that when the game is not perfect itself? Use at your own risk.
