How Denmark's Energinet uses Grafana Enterprise to monitor underwater energy cables — and do detective work

Energinet, an independent public enterprise owned by the Danish Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Utilities, uses Grafana Enterprise to monitor and manage their high-voltage substations and underwater energy cables, helping them detect and address issues promptly to prevent revenue loss. The transition from using Excel for data collection to Grafana has significantly improved Energinet’s ability to monitor real-time data from 10 to 15 sources, set up alerts for specific metrics, and conduct effective detective work when cables are damaged. Grafana's easy-to-use dashboards and alerting capabilities allow Energinet's Asset Preparedness team to pinpoint issues such as oil leakages and identify external causes like vessel anchors damaging cables, leading to successful liability claims against offenders. Since adopting Grafana in early 2022, the user base at Energinet has grown from 30 to about 120, with expectations for further growth, underscoring the tool's integral role in their operations and risk management.
