The Power Game

To illustrate the complex interactions between the UK's future electricity options we have developed The Power Game. The game lets you decide the future of the UK's electricity generation industry. As existing power stations close you must chose which new stations to build in order to meet the country's power demands. You could build a mix involving coal, gas, nuclear and a host of renewable technologies. You must choose carefully, however, as you must meet the country's commitment to reduce CO₂ emissions as well as ensuring security of supply and affordable prices.

Update of the Power Game

We have updated The Power Game to take account for higher costs of generation technologies and to better reflect today's energy markets. Please feel free to download an updated version of the game.
