TORONTO, ON, July 15, 2026 -- Lake Shore Blvd Studios, an independent Canadian game studio, has launched the open beta of Grid Pro: Energy Empire — a free browser-based game where players build and manage a real power grid from scratch.
Grid Pro: Energy Empire combines city-building strategy with realistic electrical engineering concepts, giving players insight into how modern power systems operate while challenging them to balance reliability, capacity, and growing energy demand.
No download. No payment. Open a browser and start building.
Players place generators, route transmission lines, connect demand nodes, and keep the lights on through storms, demand spikes, and frequency instability. The game models electricity as a live, interconnected system — not discrete packets — so every decision ripples across the entire grid in real time.
Grid Pro: Energy Empire is available free during its open beta.

"I wanted people to feel what it's actually like to run a grid," said Patrick Croal, founder of Lake Shore Blvd Studios. "When your frequency drops and a hospital goes dark, you feel it. That's the whole point."
