This spring electricity will be invented in Virtonomics  To wink
 
As expected, on March 12, 2013 small energy reform will be help up, during which the system of electric power consumption and tariffing will be re-organized.
 
Shortly, rules of new energetics of Virtonomics:
 
1 . The electricity consumption model on production will be essentially changed. Instead of the old scheme "at plant of N-specialization - X mW/h of the electric power is spent for production of 1 unit of product", the scheme "for work of 1 unit of equipment on plant of N-specialization - Y mW/h of the electric power is spent". After all, not the products consume energy, but the working equipment does. Even if it was idle because of, let us assume, low efficiency, high wear or lack of raw materials.
 
2 . Hi-tech productions will consume more energy (3% of growth of consumption for each technological level in a geometrical progression). The same, it will be fair for livestock farms, sawmills and fishing bases. For mines growth of power consumption will be more moderate (1% for each technological level), but the multiplier of consumption of energy depending on complexity of production will remain.
 
3 . The enterprises with low efficiency will spend more electric power, by analogy to warehouse expenses power consumptions will grow beginning from 90% efficiency (from 90% to 50% of efficiency the multiplier grows to 5, from 50% to 0% of efficiency the multiplier grows to 100).
 
4 . Tariffs for the electric power will be attached to the region and branch, recalculation of tariffs will be carried out on the minimum current value in the region cities, and for the branch enterprises "Agriculture" with an additional discount of 50%. In financial reports of subdivisions the expense the energy enterprise (mW/h) and a tariff will be shown.
 
5 . The cities will consume also (and pay) the electric power depending on number of inhabitants and level of the development. Due to it the structure of expenses of the city hall will change: costs of city inprovement and the maintenance of public order will decrease by 20%, but expenses on the consumed electric power will be added.
 
P.S. Changes won't concern agricultural farms and plantations - for them power consumption and expenses of the category "Fuel, Energy" will remain in an invariable look.

Well, not major changes, but official complainer here anyway. Stated at the forgotten wiki:
 
Technology
 
All production enterprises are characterized by a certain technological level. Technology level influences labor efficiency and goods quality. High technology level decreases energy consumption, improves quality and labor productivity. On the other hand, high technology level imposes higher demands on staff qualification and equipment quality.

So, now it's going to be the opposite way? I can understand the change from hand-made wallets to ones with machines. But as new machines (computers, light bulbs, cars...) are being developed, they tend to require less energy to work, for example. Some specializations might require more energy, while others would be the other way, newer machines would work better with less energy usage. Too generic for energy expenses in my opinion in this sense.
 
Sorry, but I'm a cheapskate, To you I have to complain about anything that increases costs in one way, even if it lowers them a lot more in another way.

hm, i don't know in which way this will effect my production cost.  
 
i have to complain that the changes start in the middle of the week, i guess i have to calculate some prizes new.
 
does i have to pay for energy after the changes for factories with employees on holiday?

What about factories with out employees with equipment... some costs for employees away or training is fine but if no one is there to operate it why should it run? Unless your going to be introducing robotic factories to remove employees which I would love lol

I probably didn't understand it correctly, but is there really any reason to complain? My entire company has an energy bill of 17M. Compare this to a total turnover of over 30Bn... Energy is about .05% of my company's budget. It should be quite similar in all companies. So for Mary and Lien I don't think it will affect your profitability.
 
For the russian realms that might prove to be a different story.
 
Either way: I thank Jane for keeping us posted. It's always nice to know that somebody cares enough to keep us informed of what's going on.

I'm not worried I just don't like wasting money via a impractical method... such as paying for electricity for something not even running
 
My electricity bull is less then three million or 0.79%

I have some units in vacations mode and the reports display no energy cost. Keep in mind that you can train workers and receive materials in vacations mode. Not sure about sudden supply shortages that freeze your production, in that case it would be ridiculous to have the factory spending full energy for no use.
 
I suposse they would cut it proportionally: if only 1/3 of the production load was used, only 1/3 of the energy cost for a whole in-game week of working would be spent. But again, I haven't tested the last part yet.

i'm a bit confused ... does it mean the above is a preparation for the introduction of electricity in the Spring or is the implementation of the above already the whole thing?

Unless they add something else, looks like that was all.
 
And confirmed, even if the factory is not producing anything or less than its max, the energy cost is the same. Based on the number of installed machines. So, if you have more machines than workers, even if the factory has no supplies to work on, a lot more of energy is consumed.
 
Only the vacations mode prevents the energy expenses if you have to train your workers or wait until the supplies arrive.

Will there be an option to see the prices for energy in the different regions?
