A Python simulation that turned Sweden's energy transition into a live coordination challenge.

A four-stakeholder simulation that replaced a conventional conference presentation with coordinated decision-making under uncertainty.

Rejlers energy-transition simulation game

Challenge

Rejlers wanted its DI Energi audience at Sweden's largest annual energy industry conference to experience why the 2045 net-zero transition is a coordination problem, rather than hear another presentation about it.

My contribution

I designed and sole-built the Python economic engine, including stakeholder incentives, scoring, transition mechanics and information-visibility rules.

Approach

Modeled politicians, voters and workers, energy companies and industry as four stakeholder groups with distinct incentives, decision spaces, KPIs and private information.

Structured six turns from 2020 to 2045, with cross-actor dependencies that made isolated optimization insufficient and a win condition of net-zero without economic collapse.

Grounded the economic engine in Swedish energy data while simplifying selectively to strengthen the learning experience.

Outcome

First deployed at DI Energi, the simulation proved useful enough to be reused at other industry conferences and events for more than four years.

Deliverables

  • Python simulation backend
  • Economic and scoring model
  • Stakeholder decision logic
  • Information-visibility rules

AI without the theatre.

An enterprise assessment that separated viable AI opportunities from hype and exposed the binding constraint.
