There are no emissions targets for the scenarios, this could have made some levels more interesting. No easy way to see predicted performance metrics to help you make choices, like capacity factors, levelized costs, interest rates. Cities appear from nowhere, and grow so fast, that it's mostly a lot of clicking work, but not worth putting serious thought into optimisation. So the solution is always to just build more power lines. Local grid congestion can't be easily addressed with generation/storage, because these generation assets just turn on based on overall demand, not congestion. Energy storage is 100% efficient and all types beyond lithium ion are roughly the same performance. Nuclear and coal plants are load following. I just don't know who this game is meant to appeal to:ġ) Power systems engineering geeks should probably look elsewhere, this game is not realistic enough. There you will also find all the info about the exact locations of the conference.It's a well polished game, with a similar feel to Cities: Skylines, but with focus only on the power grid. The program will be updated continuously. This is exactly what we want to exchange and discuss from March 24-26 and invite everyone whose goal is a world in solidarity and justice from a global and feminist perspective.ĭuring the three days you can expect a program with diverse workshops, panel discussions, film screenings and many other formats with international participants and speakers. Our life has to become affordable and basic needs have to be secured.Īll this is possible! There are enough ideas, concepts and lived practices how another world can look like. We want democratic processes, a climate-just world & the end of wars. We want to finally bring the energy infrastructure as well as decisions about it into the hands of the many. On the weekend of March 24-26, 2023, the „Power to the People“ Conference will take place in Vienna. The common causes of inflation, climate crisis, energy crisis and war are obvious: a profit-driven system that exploits people and nature.

We no longer want to watch as corporations and governments burn the future and plunge us into the next crisis. March 27-29, 2023, precisely such actors will meet in Vienna at the invitation of OMV to decide on the future of European energy supply – at the European Gas Conference Among them are all the big gas companies that are currently making record profits, while life is becoming unaffordable for many. The focus of their crisis management is on increasing profits and expanding their power. Despite this, corporations, financial institutions and politicians continue to come together to make strategic decisions without the participation and voice of those affected.


Counter conference to the European Gas Conferenceĭegrowth Vienna supports the Power to the people conference and will host a workshop „Workshop The good life 4 all – Basic provisioning in a degrowth society“ on Saturday, March 25th at 3 – 5pm Kunsttankstelle.Ĭlimate catastrophe, rising energy and living costs, or war in Ukraine and Kurdistan – we need collective responses to the crises that affect us and our lives.
