Strategy game

Run the power grid

Balance solar and wind. Store energy for when you need it. Keep the lights on. Built on real grid data—you'll learn why renewables are winning.

The climate game that teaches you something real

Most climate content is doom and gloom. GridShifter is different. You play with actual power grid dynamics and discover, through doing, how solar peaks at noon, why batteries matter, when wind picks up at night.

By the time you're done, you'll understand the energy transition better than most policymakers.

Sun North South City All is well

Three things to manage

Simple mechanics. Real consequences.

Solar

Peaks at noon, gone by sunset. You have to plan ahead or the evening demand will crush you.

Wind

Unpredictable but powerful. Often picks up at night when solar drops. Together they cover more than you'd expect.

Storage

Batteries let you shift energy through time. Fill them when supply is high, drain them when demand spikes.

Play at your own pace

Speed up, slow down, or pause. Watch a full day pass in minutes, or take an hour to optimize a single evening peak. No timers. No pressure.

Real data from real grids

Every scenario is based on actual power grid data. The solar curves, wind patterns, and demand spikes are real. You're not playing with toy numbers—you're learning how energy actually works.

Stored light

Master the storage game

Batteries change everything. Suddenly solar doesn't disappear at sunset—you can bank it. The puzzle is figuring out when to charge and when to discharge. Get it right and renewables can cover nearly anything.

A concept worth testing

We have domain expertise from real energy work. Now it needs user research, a technical lead, and funding to move forward.
