Whoa this looks like it could be a game.

Is there a game like this??

It's called Factorio.

Factorio isn't really relevant, its electricity simulation subsystem is pretty bland.

I developed one around two years ago, you can try it out at https://electrobillion.evrim.zone/

It's a fictionalised version of the grid, but teaches some of the basics well!

CircuitJs, but you have to draw your own grid first.

I've been working on adding energy mechanics to Microlandia. right now i have added solar, wind, nuclear and coal power and houses, datacenters, factories etc use real-world usage. there is power selling and power buying and a score for carbon footprint. There's still a lot I want to do and I will add it gradually, like: rooftop solar panels, different regions with different sun/wind resources, grid and station failures, and still finishing the fact checking of energy usage of all the buildings.
