Balance Budget

Sim Date 03.29.296
Revenues : $132,822
Expenses : $137,607
Deficit : $4,785
Cash : $5,417,281

Well even thought I have plenty of Cash. I've decided to balance my budget and get it back in the black.

The first thing I did was adjust my Ambulance Funding and School Bus Funding. I think this took about $2000 off the deficit.

Then I went to my Power Plants.
Sim Date: 05.04.296

Apx. Power usage 62,000 MWh
Apx. Power Capacity 90,000 Mwh



Power Plant (North Plant)
Efficiency (Balloon's) 2.75
Local Funding $18,695
Max. Capacity 50,000 MWh
Plant Condition 47%
Actual Capacity 25,943
Power Used 15,707 MWh
Capacity Used 60%
Cost MWh $.60

Power Plant (South Plant)
Efficiency (Balloon's) 5.0
Local Funding $12,019
Max. Capacity 50,000 MWh
Plant Condition 99%
Actual Capacity 54,845
Power Used 33,205 MWh
Capacity Used 60%
Cost MWh $.18

So I demolished the North Plant 05.04.296, to see if the South Plant could handle it on it's own?

Apx. Power usage 59,000 MWh
Apx. Power Capacity 64,000 Mwh

Revenues : $133,060
Expenses : $118,925
Surplus : $14,135

Great Success!

That will hold for a little while, but With my Power usage only 5000 MWh more than Power Capacity.

I may have to buy more power or build soon. (maybe just a Solar Plant?)
