Manage and expand your own electricity grid in GridSim!

Note: As GridSim is in the early ALPHA stage of development, the game is currently an open-ended sandbox with no specific goal or win condition.

What you can do in GridSim:

  • Build new power generation including gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, solar & wind.
  • Build power storage such as battery and pumped hydro.
  • Ramp different forms of generation up and down to meet peak demand.
  • Pay for scheduled load shedding to temporarily keep demand down.
  • If electricity supply falls short of demand, you will lose reputation points (in the future losing all reputation will cause you to lose the game, however this has not yet been added in this ALPHA version).
  • The demand for electricity will gradually but steadily increase, so make sure to stay ahead of it with new generation and storage!

This is the first ALPHA release of GridSim, so please comment to let me know what new features you would like added to the game in future releases. If you enjoyed playing and would like to see future development, tips/donations would certainly help too!
