Energy Trading Game
You're the trader, scheduler and optimiser for a small power generation business — starting with coal and gas, with wind, solar, hydro and battery storage yours to build later. Every half-hour, the market clears at whatever price the most expensive plant needed to meet demand sets — merit-order dispatch, computed live, never replayed.
Day 1 is calm — just watch your fleet dispatch automatically. Decisions start from Day 2.
Note: real Great Britain coal generation has effectively ended — the last coal power station closed in 2024. Your coal plant here is a deliberately simple, high-cost teaching asset: a clean way to see merit order in action on Day 1, not a claim about today's real fuel mix.
