"We have to build!" The representative of the energy supplier addresses the government; renewable energy capacities are to be expanded because the company's nuclear power plant will be shut down in the foreseeable future. The security of supply for citizens is at stake. The government representative takes a look at the balance sheets and states: "Your company has been in the red for years. How do you intend to finance the construction of new enclosures?"

The EnergyNext simulation game takes participants right into the heart of the complex events of the energy market. For two days, students and company representatives work together to try out the mechanisms and interactions that exist in the industry. The event is organised by Prof. Dr Jörg Borchert (Faculty of Energy Technology) and his team, supported by Prof. Dr Nina Kopmann (Faculty of Civil Engineering) and Prof. Dr Gregor Krause (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology).

"We have formed ten groups," explains Jörg Borchert; each group simulates the activities of an energy supplier - ranging from municipal utilities to global energy companies. "It's about generating and trading energy, but also about management and sales," he says. Over the two days, the teams play through the events of several years. They deal with topics such as the expansion of renewable energies, the nuclear and coal phase-out and the liberalisation of the market. Then there are the "shocks", as Jörg Borchert calls them, for example a tsunami with a resulting incident at a nuclear power plant, volcanic eruptions or flooding.

All of these factors have an impact on entrepreneurial behaviour. The participants follow the price fluctuations on the stock exchange, but also the changes in supply and demand. The aim of the business game is to make a profit with your own company while keeping an eye on the long-term strategy and corporate responsibility - keyword: security of supply. In order to realistically depict the complex processes on the energy market, not only companies but also the government (more precisely: a regulatory authority) and a bank take part.

The simulation game is an exciting experience for the participants. "The teams are made up of younger Bachelor's students, experienced Master's students and company representatives. Everyone learns from each other in the game and the participants support each other. In this respect, you can also play along without in-depth knowledge of your own," says Jörg Borchert.

In this way, the students experience all aspects that are dealt with in abstract terms in the courses and lectures in a concrete way. They apply the methods and knowledge in a dynamic environment, make decisions and represent these to the group and external parties (such as the government). "In addition, they process feedback from the market and learn from it. They adapt their new decisions. And this last thing doesn't happen in exercises and case studies," he adds. In addition, decisions have to be made on the basis of incomplete information.
