Power Network Tycoon starts as a slow-paced strategic game, so we recommend playing for a while to grasp the mechanics before creating content. This will help showcase the depth and challenge of the game.
General Overview
Power Network Tycoon is a power grid simulation and strategy game where you build and maintain high-voltage power networks. Construct infrastructure, monitor resources, research upgrades, and adapt to environmental challenges while keeping up with the growing energy demands of your island community.
The game offers a realistic glimpse into the power industry, featuring physics-based simulations that capture the complexities of power network management—a topic often oversimplified in other city builders. Tools like Ground Potential Rise (GPR) and the Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Meter introduce real-world engineering challenges, adding depth and authenticity to the experience.
Start small by placing power generators, substations, and power lines, then expand into a massive energy powerhouse with an interconnected grid. However, greater demand brings resource constraints, safety risks, and exposure to natural disasters. Invest wisely in research, upgrades, and safety measures to ensure a stable and efficient power supply.
Game Modes & Customization
While the main gameplay focuses on mission-based challenges, players can explore various game modes and maps. If you prefer a unique challenge, create your own procedurally generated maps to shape your experience.

The Internet Speaks
"This might be right up my alley. It combines my enjoyment of simulations with my dad instincts of "turn that light off!" "close the door! do you think we're trying to heat the whole neighborhood?" - Paco Hope, Mastodon
"OK this is pretty cool -- a video game where you get to design your own electricity grid!" - David Roberts, Bluesky
"Still EA and I know this is just the demo but I'm really looking forward to seeing where this goes. It's really cool seeing details like balancing load between phases going into a sim like this, I'm very interested" - Phelan, The Infuriated Mind, Steam
