About the 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

Each country offers unique challenges, goals, and resources. Access the video Tutorial and Video Glossary explaining all the technologies and buildings in game or on our YouTube channel.  Walk troughs for each Scenario are also there so you can have confidence you'll have the tips you'll need to get started Powering the Future!
