A thermoelectric power station which produces electricity for most of southern Greece, operates to

the south of Megalopolis, along with a coal mine.

In agriculture, potato farms (dominant in central and northcentral Arcadia), mixed farming, olive
groves, and pasture dominate the plains of Arcadia, especially in the area around Megalopolis and
between Tripoli and Levidi.
