Welcome to GAIM — Play the Energy Game, and Power the Future

What is GAIM?

GAIM is a fun, innovative, and interactive platform that helps you and your family better understand and manage your energy needs. Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, GAIM makes energy conservation and demand-side management easy, engaging, and rewarding. Explore how to reduce consumption, save energy, and contribute to a more sustainable future — all through a playful and accessible experience.

Why GAIM?

Because saving energy isn’t just about using less — it’s about using it smarter. It’s about knowing when and how to save, managing your energy use, and making self-consumption part of everyday life. But more than that, we believe it should be fun, engaging, and something you do with others. That’s why GAIM was created — to turn energy-saving into an experience that’s accessible, playful, and community-powered. Through games, creativity, and collaboration, we help households across the Netherlands take real action and build habits that last. With GAIM, you’re not just saving energy, you’re leading the change, together.
