Energy Consumption & Monitoring Dashboard for Energy Teams

Monitor energy consumption, generation, and costs in one real-time dashboard—so you can reduce waste and optimize performance.

Bold BI gives utility companies, power plants, energy distributors, and sustainability teams a clear, unified view of usage, production, cost, and demand trends—without relying on spreadsheets or static reports. Connect metering systems, IoT devices, SQL databases, ERP, or Excel sources to get a complete, automatically updated view of your energy performance.

TL;DR: What You’ll See in Your First Week

  • A full view of total energy consumption and production across all sources.
  • Monthly trends for usage and production costs.
  • Sector-level insights: residential, commercial, industrial, and more.
  • A breakdown of renewable vs. non-renewable energy usage.
  • An executive snapshot of demand patterns, cost fluctuations, and efficiency metrics.

Why it Matters for Energy Operators

Energy data often lives in silos—metering tools, ERPs, IoT readings, production logs, and cost spreadsheets. That means slow analysis, unclear trends, and reactive decisions.

Bold BI brings everything together in one analytics hub so you can answer questions like:

  • How much energy is being consumed right now?
  • Which sectors or industries use the most energy?
  • What does it cost to produce and distribute energy?
  • What’s our mix of renewable vs. fossil fuel sources?
  • Which sources or sectors are driving higher production costs?

Why Bold BI is the Right Fit

  • Combine IoT, ERP, and sector data into one governed dashboard.
  • Give operations teams self-service access while keeping leadership controls in place.
  • Deploy in the cloud or fully self-hosted.
  • Add dashboards directly into your customer portals, internal apps, or utility dashboards.

What is an Energy Monitoring Dashboard? (Quick Answer)

It’s a real-time view of energy demand, production costs, and usage patterns across sectors and sources. In Bold BI, that means interactive charts showing consumption trends, cost breakdowns, monthly performance, and energy source efficiency—automatically updated from your connected systems.

What You’ll Track

  • Overall energy consumption: Total usage, daily/monthly patterns, peak demand times, and sector-level contributions.
  • Monthly production costs: Cost trends across all energy sources, including budget comparisons and cost spikes.
  • Sector-wise consumption: How residential, commercial, and industrial sectors differ in demand and efficiency.
  • Energy source mix: Performance of each energy source, the balance between renewable and non-renewable energy, and each source’s cost contribution.
All dashboards can be tailored—add KPIs, adjust alerts, or integrate operational and grid-level data.

How it Works (Simple Setup)

  • Connect your data: SQL, Excel, ERPs, IoT meters, REST APIs.
  • Pick the Energy Monitoring sample dashboard.
  • Blend consumption, production, cost, and sector data.
  • Share dashboards with operations, finance, and leadership.
  • Set alerts for unusual consumption or cost spikes.

Why Energy Teams Choose Bold BI

  • One view for consumption, cost, source, and sector metrics.
  • Drill down from overall performance to source or sector details.
  • Strong governance: RBAC, RLS, SSO, audit logs.
  • Embeddable in portals or internal analytics platforms.
