A strategic energy planning game where you build and manage a power grid over 5 years while balancing budget, emissions, reliability, and public approval.
Game live here!
- Drag & Drop: Place energy sources on the 5x5 grid by dragging from the sidebar
- Budget Management: Start with $100M to spend across 5 years - no additional income!
- Balance Metrics: Keep emissions low, reliability high, and maintain public approval
- Terrain Matters: Different terrains affect costs, efficiency, and approval ratings
- Random Events: Face challenges like storms, subsidies, and scandals each year
- Strategic Planning: Choose the right energy mix for optimal results
- Coal: Cheap but high emissions and low approval
- Gas: Moderate cost and emissions
- Wind: Clean energy with weather dependency
- Solar: Popular renewable with moderate reliability
- Nuclear: Expensive but extremely reliable and clean
- Hydro: Balanced renewable option
Each terrain type modifies costs, efficiency, and approval:
- Mountains: Great for hydro and wind
- Desert: Perfect for solar, terrible for hydro
- City: Higher costs but approval bonus
- Offshore: Excellent wind but expensive
- And many more!
Aim for high public approval and low emissions while maintaining grid reliability. Different terrains offer strategic advantages - plan your placements carefully!
