Power guarantees and insurance.
They are also frequently situated close to reliable power sources such as nuclear or hydro, usually fed by more than one generating station.
A friend of mine lived close to a brick plant his power NEVER went out.

- consp 1y agoAnecdotal example: The, now closed, Aluminium plant here was build only because the government build a nuclear plant, which is still going. There was a coal plant next to it (closed now) as a backup for when nuclear was not available. Funny thing is most people thought the coal plant was the nuclear plant when driving by since it looks more like a plant, the nuclear dome structure is kind of hidden from the road and since natural water is used as cooling no big towers are close by.
