Board game gives perspective to energy sector

Fresh Forces, in cooperation with Eneco Group, has developed a strategic multi-stakeholder game focused on the radical changes the energy market is currently facing. It allows players to experience the transitions from different standpoints: end-users, suppliers, network operators, NGOs, regulator and even the government.

In the game, corporate and private clients will generate energy; act as suppliers to each other and offer products that will compete with the traditional energy companies. The players will find the energy sector to decentralize and they’ll become aware of the deteriorating traditional business models of the utilities.

While the players will become aware of the changes in their direct environment, they’ll also experience the effects of the changes throughout the entire energy sector.

“Offering players this experience from different perspectives is a powerful learning tool. The game helps us to see the bigger picture and to think about overarching solutions in terms of systemic changes. It’s not just about us, here, but also about them, there. Not just about people, but also about the environment. Not only about short term profits, but also about thriving in the long term too,” says Fresh Forces in their press release.
