Power BI Solutions for Energy Sector: Enhancing Operational Efficiency and Reporting

We implemented Power BI for an energy company, delivering custom dashboards for real-time energy metrics, fuel management, and financial reporting. These business intelligence solutions streamlined operations, improved data accuracy, and enhanced decision-making.

 

 

We developed comprehensive Power BI dashboards for the executive team of a leading energy-generating company with nearly a century of history. The project focused on delivering real-time insights into key energy metrics and market analysis, helping improve decision-making and integrating innovative solutions into their traditional production processes.

Innovative Solutions for Power Generation Leaders

A leading company in the energy sector, this organization is dedicated to sustainable practices and adheres to stringent policies prioritizing environmental protection and stakeholder engagement. By leveraging business intelligence in energy, they actively monitor and reduce emissions, minimize waste, and optimize resource consumption. Preventive actions are seamlessly integrated into their operations, with a strong emphasis on employee participation and innovation. Once among the largest power stations in the 1990s, the company continues to be a key player in the industry, evolving its operations with a focus on sustainability, efficiency, and advanced analytics to drive informed decision-making.

Energy Sector Challenges and
Strategic Business Intelligence Solutions

DonbasEnergo needed advanced analytics to manage its diverse operations effectively. The challenge was to create custom Power BI dashboards that could provide real-time insights into energy metrics, market conditions, fuel usage, and financial performance. The goal was to enable leadership to make data-driven decisions based on comprehensive data analysis. Additionally, they needed a solution to determine the actual cost of energy production quickly and accurately, which was previously delayed by two months.

Our team developed several Power BI solutions:

  • Energy Metrics Dashboard: Provided a comprehensive view of performance by combining key energy indicators. Scrapers were built to track market data, enabling strategy alignment with current market trends. This helped the company optimize its operations through data-driven insights.

  • Market Segment Analysis: Displayed sales volume, tariffs, and market segment data, showing the company’s alignment with different segments. The dashboard helped identify the most profitable segments and adjust pricing strategies accordingly.

  • Fuel Analytics Dashboard: Monitored fuel consumption, procurement, and storage capacity, tracking fuel oil, coal, and other fuel types. By analyzing fuel dynamics, the company could better manage inventory and reduce operational costs.

  • P&L Dashboard: Analyzed profit and loss, comparing actual results to plans, budgets, and forecasts. This included insights into tariffs, margins, and net profitability, empowering the company to make swift, strategic decisions based on real-time data.

To support market data analysis, we created a parser and developed a new database, allowing for real-time cost estimates to replace forecasted costs. Previously, the actual cost of energy production was only available after a two-month delay; our solution provided immediate access, enabling more agile decision-making with the help of energy business intelligence.

Given the complexity of their operations, we established a transit database for Power BI analytics. This involved designing a system that could process data from their transactional system and ensure timely and accurate data visualization. This transit database served as an intermediary, ensuring that energy business intelligence analytics were both accurate and efficient, empowering the company with actionable insights.
