Can you solve the energy trilemma? 15 minutes. Free. No registration.
Free online energy policy simulation: manage a country, balance security, affordability, and sustainability. 15-20 min, no registration.
Choose one of four economies — each has its own resources, challenges, and starting scores. Oil superpower or green island?
Each round you accept or reject energy policy proposals. Build a nuclear plant? Subsidize solar panels? Your call.
A full game in a coffee break. Play solo or discuss decisions as a team. No registration, no downloads.
Your final result — the balance of security, affordability, and sustainability in the energy sector. A perfect balance doesn't exist — that's the trilemma.
According to MIT research, simulations develop systems thinking 3x more effectively than lectures. Until you've tried balancing 3 metrics simultaneously — you don't understand why "the perfect answer" doesn't exist.
TalentLMS research shows: 83% of employees learning through game mechanics feel more motivated. The Energy Trilemma is a ready-made tool for a training session or class.
15 minutes for individual play + 15 minutes for discussion = a ready lesson block. Works for corporate training, universities, and schools. For a full format where a facilitator guides discussion — there's a workshop.
The Energy Trilemma is a free online simulation where you manage the energy policy of one of four fictional countries. The concept is based on the World Energy Council model: any energy policy is a trade-off between three metrics, and a perfect balance doesn't exist.
Each round you're offered a decision: build a nuclear plant, subsidize solar panels, open a new oil field. You accept or reject — and see how it affects your country's security, affordability, and sustainability in the energy sector. A full game takes 15–20 minutes.
The game works as a standalone tool or as a lesson element:
One of four economies — each with its own resources and starting scores
Each round brings a new decision: nuclear plant, solar panels, oil field...
Yes or No — and instantly see the consequences on three metrics
Security, affordability, sustainability in the energy sector — three metrics you need to maintain
Final balance and comparison with other players
