Overview
The Advanced Power Plant is the upgrade of a Power Plant: three times the output from the same two-by-two footprint, for roughly the cost of two new plants.
How to use
Upgrade instead of sprawling once your base has three or four plants: fewer buildings to defend and less space used. Do it before you upgrade factories and extractors, which all draw more power at Tier 2. Because so much of the grid then depends on one building, keep it deep inside the base and under anti-air cover.
Counters
The same as a Power Plant, and losing one is three times as painful.
