Energy KPI
An energy KPI is a specific, measurable metric used to track progress toward energy management or sustainability targets, such as cost per kWh or emissions per site.
Definition
An energy KPI (key performance indicator) is a specific, trackable metric chosen to represent progress against an energy or sustainability objective. Common examples include total consumption, cost per kWh, emissions per site, or percentage of energy from renewable sources. Unlike a general performance indicator (EnPI), KPIs are often chosen for stakeholder reporting rather than strict normalisation methodology.
Why It Matters
Without a small set of clearly defined KPIs, energy management efforts can become unfocused — tracking everything but improving nothing measurably.
