{{quote|Consumes fuel to power all ship modules.|In-Game Description}}
'''Power Plants''' are [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_fusion|nuclear fusion]] reactors which supply ships with energy. They consume and fuse [[fuel]] ([[Hydrogen Fuel|hydrogen atoms]]) to release the energy in the form of heat. This energy is converted into electricity and measured in [[Wikipedia:Watt|watts]]. Power plants are not 100% efficient at converting fusion heat into electricity, so some energy is lost as waste [[heat]] and must be exhausted through radiation panels. The fusion process also produces helium in a highly-energized plasma state. This plasma is exhausted through the engine's ionisation grids to produce thrust. Larger power plants are able to produce more energy, while power plants with higher ratings are more efficient.

In the event that a ship's Power Plant is disabled during combat, its power output is halved, but [[module priority control]] can be used to keep some important modules powered. Further cumulative damage to a disabled Power Plant equal to about 0.5 times its integrity (after resistances) will cause a catastrophic breach in its containment systems, which will destroy the ship regardless of its remaining hull integrity.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/1qsn85e/how_powerplant_sniping_actually_works Reddit: How Powerplant Sniping ACTUALLY Works]</ref>

With the introduction of [[Guardian Hybrid Power Plant]]s on February 27, 3304, the base prices of all standard Power Plants were marked down to account for the depreciation of human technology.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/410696-Guardian-Module-Pricepoint-Error-and-Fix Frontier Forums: *SPOILER* Guardian Module Pricepoint Error and Fix]</ref>
