(Edited out "Ceiling" as it meant nothing and took me 10 minutes to figure this out... Costs are 500/200/100 *1.8^level... ceiling is pointless there.) |

The Nuclear Power Plant is an alternative to the Solar Array for producing Energy. It consumes Hydrogen from your Hydrogen Synthesizer in order to make extra power.
Nuclear Power Plants create more energy as you level up your Energy Tech.
Costs
Ore Cost = (500 * 1.8^Level)
Crystal Cost = (200 * 1.8^Level)
Hydrogen Cost = (100 * 1.8^Level)

Efficiency
The efficiency of Nuclear Power Plants decreases with each level of the plant until Energy Tech Level 5. After Energy Tech Level 5, efficiency improves with each level of the plant.

Note
The game's description of the Nuclear Power Plant is: "Produces additional electricity to power your mines and buildings, at a cost of hydrogen. The Nuclear Power Plant consumes more hydrogen and produces more energy for each level of energy tech." it should be noted that despite what this may say, hydrogen consumption is not increased along with energy production with the increase of energy tech, and is only dependent on the level of the plant.
As a Nuclear power plant uses hydrogen to generate energy, it would be recommended to check that you are not operating it at 100% output and producing surplus energy that is not being utilized. I.e. if you have a large amount of extra energy, you may be able to decrease production and still have sufficient energy for your mines. Not producing the surplus energy also frees up hydrogen that is not being consumed by the Nuclear power plant and allows the Hydrogen Synthesizer to create more hydrogen to operate your fleet, build new buildings, droids, weapons, and conduct research.
It should also be noted that in Extreme the Nuclear Power Plant uses double(X2) the amount of Hydrogen per level while still producing the same amount of power. So the production is correct, but the output ratio is not applicable to Extreme.
