About this game
Power the Future puts you in control of a world power and challenges you to build an Energy Empire for the future. Build a company and transform and expand your country’s economy to become an Energy Superpower!
Choose your path: compete against rival nations to become the World Leader, or focus on achieving your country’s 2040 Goals. Research and develop breakthrough technologies, diversify your energy company, and see how it stacks up against the world’s largest players.
Build power and pipeline networks that span countries and continents. Develop solar in Africa to supply Europe, complete mega-projects like subsea power cables from Australia to Japan, or pursue moonshots such as Fusion and Space-Based Solar. Feed India’s growing demand with a national grid, help China become the first all-electric superpower, keep the USA on the cutting edge, or transform Australia into a major exporter fueling Asia.
Explore countless realistic scenarios unfolding in the next 15 years:
Develop Natural Hydrogen and build pipelines to meet demand.
Construct factories, secure rare materials, and manage your inventory of renewable technologies.
Connect or build new Data Centers to boost influence, income, and meet today’s massive surge in demand.
Complete tasks for rewards and bonuses.
Play as Germany (EU), UK, China, Japan, India, Australia, or the USA—watch the whole world develop. Listen to epic music and watch the clouds role past the marvels that you've built.
With 100s of regions, nearly 1,000 cities to connect, diverse factories and facilities, and cutting-edge technologies like Orange Hydrogen, eFuel Panels, Deep Geothermal, and Floating Offshore, the possibilities are endless.
Replay again and again with four different victory paths for each scenario, each with a unique ending, video and a Steam Achievement:
2040 Goals
Power Victory
Fuel Victory
World Leader Victory

Patch NotesOfficial
New France / EU Scenario
There is now a new EU Scenario for the Southern EU centered in France. Compete with Germany and the UK for development sites and for access to demand. Over 200 more cities and facilities added. We'll be increasing the ability to compete (friendly) between neighbors in an upcoming release.Read full article on Community Announcements (simnetzero-dev)Patch NotesOfficial
Data Centers Update
The main item in this release is an increase in the number of data centers in each country. There is now also a task associated with supplying data centers with power, with the reward being increased battery backup power and capacity.Read full article on Community Announcements (simnetzero-dev)Patch NotesOfficial
Climate Victory Update
Added a Climate Victory that is possible along with any other victory, you will receive it the next turn after you reach the victory point goal. New facilities and the existing CO2 Products facilities grant you Climate Score points. They include: Aerosol Geo Engineering, Soil Amendments with CO2 and Ocean Seawater Electrolysis for CO2 and Hydrogen. You also can develop some mega projects around the world that allow you to fill in dried up desert lakes (subsea depressions). There are steam achievements rewarded for Climate Victories for each scenario countryRead full article on Community Announcements (simnetzero-dev)Patch NotesOfficial
Update 1.14
All 4 victories for all 7 scenarios now have a unique ending video to go with the individual victory results. As with any game you've already completed you can revisit the ending by loading the game and clicking on the "End Game" button where the "next turn button" would otherwise be.Read full article on Community Announcements (simnetzero-dev)Patch NotesOfficial
Technology Expansion Update
The tech tree has been reworked and we added 10 more technologies including new facilities and ways to generate power in your own country. There's now over 30 technologies, some with multiple steps like Fusion and Space based Solar. We'll update the screenshots so you can check them out. In addition to the new techs some are country specific and each country now has a more unique path. We added a MOST EPIC MUSICAL SCORE to the game, seriously it's great! If you do need silence you can toggle it off in the game menu. I find myself pausing late game, admiring my what I build, watching the wind turbines and clouds pass by listening to the sound track. Other changes include: You can now buy one more influence per turn, click on the Gems in the top bar on the game map screen. If you didn't notice in the last release you can also build one more Wind, Solar or H2 Well per turn per Site but you will pay extra money. Added the CO2 Products facility which takes some power but creates and equal amount of eFuel, this is a highly favorable ratio so the number of these is limited. It can be unlocked by the CO2 Products Tech. There is now an additional technology after you Demonstrate Fusion to roll it out. So after you research that tech you will be able to build fusion plants. Since there are more techs, most don't take as long as previously did to complete. There's video's for everything and we plan to increase more media and immersion into the new technology.Read full article on Community Announcements (simnetzero-dev)
