About
Power Network Tycoon is a power grid simulation and strategy game where you build and maintain a high-voltage power network. Build power infrastructure, monitor resources, research upgrades, adapt to environmental challenges, keep up with energy demands and protect your island community!
Start small by placing power generators, substations, and power lines. With greater demand brings resource constraints, safety risks, and exposure to natures challenges. Invest wisely in research, upgrades, and safety measures to ensure a stable and efficient power supply.
The game is a modern take on an often oversimplified genre, now with advanced power grid management and industry-inspired simulation mechanics. It uses advanced physics-based calculations found in industrial electrical design software and challenges you to make decisions that reflect industry best practices, built from the ground up to be easy to learn, but hard to master.
You'll be responsible for preventing electrical accidents and protecting your citizens. Assess ground potential rise under fault conditions, measure electromagnetic field strengths, and upgrade equipment to minimize the risk of electrical overloading. Failure to prioritize safety could lead to unhappy customers, outages, and worse!
As the island community grows, your expertise running the Power Grid will be put to the test. You'll have the opportunity to upgrade and expand your network by building new power generators, power lines, substations and supporting infrastructure.
Mother Nature can throw unexpected challenges your way, but as a resilient Engineer, you're always prepared. Storms, heatwaves and other extreme weather events will put your skills to the test. Upgrade your infrastructure, strengthen power lines and monitor the weather to mitigate the impact of these natural disasters. Balancing resilience and costs is crucial as you work to keep the lights on.
Every decision shapes how your network performs under pressure, how your power infrastructure holds up over time, and how your community grows. Plan carefully, think like an engineer, and see if your grid can stand the test.

I love it. nothing else comes even remotely close to accurately depicting electricity, let alone the aspects of a power grid. I feel like this genre is under tapped and i really cant wait to see where this game goes from here.
I would expect realistic power network distribution the most boring thing ever, and yet someone made a game that's actually fun out of it. Hats off.
This game is a beast of a sim, in the old fashioned "dive into it or drown" style. It's not exactly Sim City,, but rather a more specialized sim. There's no leisurely cruising through the main campaign in this one. The level of accuracy and detail when it comes to power networks is frankly weirdly high, to the point of getting in the way of gameplay, and I'm writing that as someone with the educational/professional background to at least have a general grasp of the subject matter. Forget the interactive tutorial for now, it won't help you much. The video is actually more helpful. With the steep learning curve, it's no surprise that the game takes a while to deliver. But when it does, some hair-raising moments are it store (at least they were for me). There was this moment when I barely managed to avoid a small catastrophy an the music just happened to sync with my triumph. And BTW about the music: it adapts to the mood and circumstances as you expand. Details as this one are telling of how meticulously crafted this gem of a game is. They need to fix that interactive tutorial, and night time still gives me sore eyes for all the squinting I have to do, but those are nitpicks.
Love this game! It's a power system simulator, however fun and accessible. Build your own generators, and distribution systems, and sell the power to the locals. I really like the UI and technical detail, and will look forward to playing it as it develops. Who'd have thought phase balancing and managing network faults would be so much fun! Nice work Dave!
Fun game with good technical depth
Love it! I work in the industry but lack the a comprehensive knowledge on how electricity is delivered. I asked AI if there's a game that would gamify this knowledge and it recommended this game. No regrets!
非常专业且好玩的电力管理游戏,在游玩的同时还能学习到电气相关的知识,开发者是一名澳洲的高级电力工程师,目前我正在协助他进行中文的本地化工作!目前翻译中有不少涉及电力行业的专业词汇不准确,还请大家包容!
Takes some time to figure out the UI, but this is a lot of fun.
Still a fair few glitches in there where it will label assets the same as some existing ones Also stops you from getting off the first level.
Great educational game, highly recommend.
