Facilitator guide

Keep the Lights On

Guide rapide pour lancer le jeu, gérer le timer, lire le leaderboard et animer le debrief.

À dire avant le départ

“Now we move to a short individual quiz: Keep the Lights On.”

You are going to play the role of an advisor for a new AI data center project. Your mission is to make the best power-related decisions: where to build, how to secure energy, how to manage grid connection, redundancy, 24/7 supply, contracts, water and crisis risks.

You’ll play individually. You have 20 minutes, and the timer does not affect your score. At the end, click submit once. Your score will appear and go to the leaderboard.

The purpose is to test the main takeaway from the presentation: data centers are becoming power-first infrastructures, and the winning strategy is not just about renewable energy, but about reliable, low-carbon and bankable power.

Timing

2 min introduction, 20 min jeu, 3–5 min leaderboard, 5–8 min debrief.

Timer

Ouvre facilitator.html et clique sur Start 20-minute timer.

Leaderboard

Les résultats remontent automatiquement si le backend Cloudflare KV est configuré.

Scoring logic

Le score est sur 100 et reste volontairement discriminant pour éviter que tout le monde soit entre 90 et 100.

Reliability

/30 — Tier, energy model, redundancy and firming.

Speed-to-power

/20 — site choice and connection route.

Low-carbon

/20 — site resource, energy model and firming mix.

Risk management

/30 — bankability, ESG, FID timing and crisis response.

Le jeu utilise aussi des seuils de cohérence : une réponse qui rate un point critique comme la redondance, le grid access, le 24/7 ou la bankability limite le score maximal, même si les autres réponses sont bonnes.

Answer key

Cette section est pour le debrief facilitateur.

Crisis response key

Pour la question 10, il n’y a pas de mauvais choix de crise. Le score vient de la réponse à la crise.

Debrief final

Message clé : a data center is not only a building with servers. It is a critical power infrastructure.

The strongest strategies combine grid capacity, redundancy, 24/7 low-carbon supply, bankable contracts, water awareness and local acceptance.

So the real question is not simply “where can we buy green electricity?” The real question is: “how can we deliver reliable, low-carbon, fast-to-connect and bankable power for critical infrastructure?”

Cloudflare setup reminder

Pour un leaderboard partagé entre plusieurs PCs, configure un KV namespace dans Cloudflare Pages avec le binding exact KLO_RESULTS. Sans ce binding, le jeu fonctionne mais les résultats restent locaux au navigateur.
