EcoShift: Beat the Peak

Prepare the household

Choose today’s energy weather.

Each scenario changes the hourly price, renewable share and grid pressure. The underlying numbers are simplified for play and do not represent a real tariff or live grid.

What the game models

One schedule. Four competing goals.

EcoShift does not claim that one rule works everywhere. It teaches players to inspect the local conditions—price, renewable availability, demand and comfort—before deciding when to use energy.

Cost

Flexible demand can sometimes move away from the most expensive hours.

Clean supply

Renewable availability changes through the day and differs by place.

Peak pressure

Stacking several large loads at once can make a high-demand period harder.

Comfort

Energy decisions still need to serve real household needs and deadlines.

Public alpha

This first release is built to learn from players.

The current game stores only optional best-score and play-count information in this browser. It has no account, public leaderboard or server-submitted gameplay data.

How to play

Build a smarter 24-hour plan.

  1. 1
    Read the timeline

    Each time block shows simulated price, renewable share and grid pressure.

  2. 2
    Select a task

    Choose laundry, water heating, pre-heating, the dishwasher or EV charging.

  3. 3
    Choose a start time

    Only valid times light up. Longer tasks automatically occupy more than one block.

  4. 4
    Balance the trade-offs

    Several cheap or clean tasks at once may still create a large household peak.

  5. 5
    Power the day

    Finish all five tasks, study the score and replay with a different strategy.

Mouse or touch
