You have been elected as the Head of Energy in the newly-formed Department of Energy Management. The rest of the Country has high hopes for you, and the city is investing their confidence (and money) in your skills! Buy power plants, invest in infrastructure, and recruit more of the country into your energy jurisdiction over 10 progressively-worse days through the year, culminating in the Summer Solstice Celebration!

During the day, you can click on power plant controls to change their settings- some are binary on-off switches, some can control their output magnitude, some have limited stored power, and some take minutes or hours to reach full power! Manage your power plants carefully to match power demand from the midnight lulls to the noon peak.

If the power demands become too intense, you have one last-resort option at your disposal- rolling blackouts. City sections generally hate this practice, and it damages their confidence in you, but it is effective at shedding some overwhelming load... for a time. Once the power comes back on, people will- all at once- have lots of energy-intensive things to do...

Game works with just the mouse! This should mean that mobile users should be able to play just fine (there are no right-clicking functions), but I have not personally tested with a mobile device.

i enjoyed the energy mechanic and this unique theme for a roguelike game


one thing, if you're on the last stage (before endless) and you fail, it gives you the congrats message before giving you the fail screen, have personally witnessed that bug multiple times d:
