Northlea and Foxhey Governorates are the two largest users of energy in Arcerion. For Northlea this is due to terrain, as the wide sweeping plains and low rolling hills of the [[Arcer Heartland]] do not allow for the effective implementation of hydroelectric dams, and the effect of coal burning plants can lead to damaged or polluted crops, making the Governorate's leadership hesitant to allow for the expansion of such facilities into the inner reaches of Arcerion. However, the nuclear plant located in Dalfearn provides the electricity for the vast majority of the Arcer Heartland, and with plans to construct an additional nuclear facility in Presdale by the end of 2030, energy security will be vastly improved for Arcer farmers and their families. | Northlea and Foxhey Governorates are the two largest users of energy in Arcerion.

In Foxhey, the limited access to natural gas or nuclear power makes the Governorate entirely reliant on coal shipped in from Chester-on-Moore and other major Arcer export ports. However Foxhey's coal-fired power plant is supplemented by a maritime windfarm, off the coast of Port Gibson, the only one of its kind in Arcerion. Between the two, the island's population of nine million receives enough power, however the overhead and above-ground electricity pylons are prone to damage from tropical storms in the Malentine Sea, making their energy security the lowest in Arcerion. | In Foxhey, the limited access to natural gas or nuclear power makes the Governorate entirely reliant on coal shipped in from Chester-on-Moore and other major Arcer export ports.

Arcerion has additional plans for two more power plants, the McCallan River Nuclear Power Station (MRNPS) near Easthampton in Southeast Arcerion, as well as the Northlea Nuclear Power Plant adjacent to the city of Presdale, in Northern Arcerion. | Arcerion has additional plans for two more power plants, the McCallan River Nuclear Power Station (MRNPS) near Easthampton in Southeast Arcerion, as well as the Northlea Nuclear Power Plant adjacent to the city of Presdale, in Northern Arcerion. | ||
