Changes: Palmer-Taylor Power Station

Revision as of 02:46, 23 July 2015

Spoiler Warning: Plot details, ending details, or both are in the text which follows.

The Palmer-Taylor Power Station is a power generation and transmission facility featured in Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

It is located in Los Santos County along Senora Way, east of the RON Alternates Wind Farm. Additionally, it is located next to a railway station, where trains will occasionally stop.

Palmer-Taylor Power Station is a massive facility, composed of four generating towers, two other large buildings of indeterminate purpose, and numerous smaller out-buildings, storage tanks, pipelines, a parking lot and other related items. While none of the buildings are player accessible, the generating towers and a few other buildings have extensive stairs, ladders, and catwalks which allow for a great deal of player exploration. There are transmitters located around the plant, which will give the GTA Online Protagonist an electric shock if they come into contact with the transmitters. Despite the presence of various "No smoking" signs, the station's employees can still be seen smoking.

It is not specified which type of fuel the Power Station uses, though the generating towers and the station's ownership by the Los Santos Department of Green Power suggest it is a natural gas plant, but the proximity to the RON wind farm may suggest that it partially acts as a power conversion station.

Mission Appearances

GTA V

Vinewood Souvenirs - The Last Act - Trevor Philips drives a blue Premier containing actor Al Di Napoli to a railway line passing the power station. Trevor leaves the car on the tracks before a passing train destroys the car, killing Di Napoli.

Franklin pushes Michael over the edge before grabbing hold of him. The player can choose whether to drop Michael or hoist him up, but either way, Michael will fall to his death. Franklin calls Lamar Davis and leaves the power station.

-No signage clearly states what kind of fuel the Power Station uses; however, it is likely a natural gas plant. Clues pointing to the use of natural gas include the generating towers, which are very similar in form to real life natural gas power plants, and the ownership of the plant by the [[Los Santos Department of Green Power]].

-Also one of the possible final missions take place here [[The Time's Come]] if the player chooses option B (kill Michael), [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin]] chases [[Michael De Santa|Michael]] to the station and chases him up one of the silo's until they get to the top. Franklin then pushes Michael off and the player is left with the decision to save or drop Michael. Either way Michael falls to his death and dies instantly once hitting the ground leaving blood all around his head. Franklin then calls [[Lamar]] and walks away from the factory.
