What is Power to the People?
An isometric management game where you run an electric utility across campaign missions on five continents, a sandbox mode, and weekly challenges. Build power plants and lines, manage rising demand as cities grow, and use research and upgrades to respond to weather and random disruptions.
For you if...
- +you enjoy balancing infrastructure costs against rising demand
- +you like optimizing grids across missions and weekly challenges
Not for you if...
- −you want to build cities rather than supply their electricity
- −you expect realistic electrical flow and power plant costs
What players say
81% of 557 reviews are positive
Players praise the focus on managing power generation and distribution as cities grow. The most common complaint is that maps play too similarly and the management loop becomes repetitive.
