Power Network Tycoon

Power Network Tycoon is a physics-based power grid simulation game in which you build and maintain a high-voltage network for an island community. You place generators, substations and power lines, monitor resources, research upgrades and adapt your infrastructure to meet energy demands and environmental challenges.

Build and manage the grid

Start with a small network and expand it as the community’s demand grows. Greater demand brings resource constraints, safety risks and exposure to natural challenges, so you invest in research, upgrades and safety measures to maintain a stable, efficient power supply. You can add generators, power lines, substations and supporting infrastructure as the island develops.

The grid uses physics-based calculations and industry-inspired simulation mechanics based on methods used in electrical design software. You make decisions that reflect industry best practices, with systems designed to be easy to learn but hard to master.

Protect the community

You are responsible for preventing electrical accidents and protecting citizens. Assess ground potential rise under fault conditions, measure electromagnetic field strengths and upgrade equipment to reduce the risk of electrical overloading. Neglecting safety can lead to unhappy customers, outages and worse.

Respond to weather

Storms, heatwaves and other extreme weather events test the network. You can monitor the weather, strengthen power lines and upgrade infrastructure to limit the impact of natural disasters. Balancing resilience against costs is part of keeping the lights on.
