Abstract: A new approach to energy policy analysis is developed by structuring the interactive dynamic processes in energy environment systems Current energy system modelling efforts do not effectively account for multiple interests and the interaction of policy markers. This paper presents a methodology formalising, within the framework of hierarchial systems, operational gaming for policy analysis. The methodology has been applied to the design of Regional Energy Environment Games (REEG), and is extended to large-scale games for policy analysis.
