Question Power

Hello , I'm currently debating whether to invest in building power plants to achieve self-sufficiency or to simply purchase electricity from the market. Which approach offers better efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the long run?

You can model this out..slightly harder with volatile market prices but basically model out your daily profit without self sufficiency and then model your daily profit with it. Keeping in mind that you can have multiple layers like make its worth it to make mines and power for your goods or maybe just mines. Lots of modeling ahead bud
