What Global Energy Management unlocks

Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.

How to get Global Energy Management

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 90) and its weight modifiers.

In the game

Load-balancing facilities can greatly improve the stability of local grids and feed excess power back into centralized capacitors.

Global Energy Management: questions

How do I get Global Energy Management in Stellaris?

Research Field Modulation first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Global Energy Management can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.

What does Global Energy Management do?

It unlocks Chloroplastic Lens Array (building), Energy Grid (building), Day Farm Construction (decision), Capacity Subsidies (edict) and Capacity Subsidies Wilderness (edict). It leads to Planetary Power Grid.

What is the ID of Global Energy Management?

The technology's ID is tech_power_hub_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_power_hub_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Global Energy Management cost?

1,500 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
