You have two budgets to spend: money (capital) and political support (policy). Split them across four investments. Meet every requirement shown—and keep both budgets at zero or above. The scores are simplified for learning, not real-world predictions.
Toy model. Real grids depend on geography, markets, weather, and policy—not these indices.
Constraints
Clean powerNot yet. Clean electricity index must be at least 40. Now 20.
ReliabilityNot yet. Reliability index must be at least 55. Now 35.
Bill pressureNot yet. Bill pressure index must be at most 42. Now 50.
IntegrationMet. Integration stress must be at most 28. Now 15.
Renewables + storageNot yet. Combined levels in renewables and storage must be at least 4. Now 0.
Transmission + renewablesMet. Combined levels in transmission and renewables must be at most 7. Now 0.

Transmission & connections
Moves power, eases congestion—strong for reliability.

New renewable capacity
Adds variable generation—great for clean share.

Storage & flexibility
Shifts energy across hours; pairs with variable renewables.

Meet every chip and keep both pools in the black.
For real statistics, use IPCC, IEA, or datasets such as Our World in Data—not this exercise.
