Understanding the dashboard metrics

The dashboard provides key metrics to help you track and manage energy consumption and generation, or more generally any supply/demand of energy attribute certificates.

In all dashboards, you can explore metrics calculated on a specific scope/filtering of your portfolio.

Filtering

Period

This defines the time range you want to analyze. You can select specific dates or use predefined ranges like:

  • Current month
  • Last month
  • Compliance period (for UK customers)
  • Last year

Data granularity

This is offered in some dashboards and allows filtering on only the data that is described with a thin enough granularity, for specific use cases. This refers to the low-level granularity of your data (granularity of uploaded data). Available options are:

  • Hourly or thinner
  • Any

Additional filters

This is offered in some dashboards and allows filtering on a reduced scope of your portfolio (some generation devices, some consumers, groups of consumers, products...)

 

Metrics

Total generation and total consumption

Generation and consumption represent the quantity of energy generated and consumed respectively over the selected period, in the selected perimeter.

The generation value excludes quantities already allocated to non-selected consumers. It includes all quantities allocated to selected consumers, even those originating from non-selected production devices. This is best to reflect the actual matching statistics in the portfolio.

Matching generation and excess generation

When compared to consumption, generation can be broken down into:

  • Matching generation (quantity overlapping with the consumption)
  • Excess generation (quantity in excess of the consumption)

Additionally, generation can be split between:

  • Allocated portion (quantities that have already been allocated to specific consumers)
  • Unallocated portion (quantities left to allocate - or to resell)

Unmatched consumption

Unmatched consumption or shortfalls represent the consumption left uncovered by the matching generation. This indicates the amount of consumption that needs additional energy sources or reallocation to align with the available generation.

NOTE: The metrics in the Granular Energy dashboards and reports can be analysed at different "matching resolutions". Read more about matching resolutions here.
