Power grid operations demand extremely high reliability, efficient transmission, minimal outages, and safety. To achieve this, power grid companies must monitor critical KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that reflect system performance, quality of supply, load management, and operational efficiency.Power Grid KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets

The Power Grid KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets is a ready-to-use, automated, professional reporting tool designed for grid operators, transmission companies, and energy regulators. It helps track both monthly (MTD) and year-to-date (YTD) performance with real-time comparisons using targets and previous year benchmarks.Power Grid KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets

 What Is a Power Grid KPI Dashboard in Google Sheets?

A Power Grid KPI Dashboard is a specialized Google Sheets–based monitoring system that visualizes transmission performance, line reliability, transformer efficiency, load factors, frequency stability, and grid availability.

The dashboard includes:
✔ MTD Actual vs Target vs Previous Year
✔ YTD Actual vs Target vs Previous Year
✔ Conditional formatting (arrows, color indicators)
✔ KPI trend graphs
✔ Detailed KPI definitions and formulas

It helps energy teams take quick decisions during grid disturbances, outages, overload events, or operational inefficiencies.
