Energy and utility icons for Power BI

Energy icons distinguish sources and carriers: electricity, gas, fuel, solar, battery storage. Utility and sustainability reports split nearly every number by them.

DAX measure and data URI: set the measure's Data category to Image URL. Theme icon JSON: paste its iconsblock into your current theme JSON and import that with Design → Import theme (older builds: View → Themes → Browse for themes), then pick the icon in Conditional formatting → Icons. Importing the icons-only file on its own replaces your theme, so your colours and text styles fall back to Power BI's defaults.

Your set (0)

Theme JSON holds only the icons: merge its icons block into your current theme before importing, or your theme's colours reset.

Add up to 24 icons (for example good / neutral / bad) to export them together.

Using energy & utilities icons in Power BI

Where energy & utilities icons earn their place in a report, and how to keep them readable.

Give each carrier a distinct icon (bolt for electricity, flame for gas, drop for fuel, sun for solar) and repeat it in the legend. Energy reports often stack these series, so the icon helps decode the stack.

Avoid implying green with a leaf on every renewable KPI. A sun or wind icon says which renewable; a leaf says nothing measurable.

Power BI tip: Keep the carrier icon in an Energy Type dimension (Type, IconKey) related to the icon CSV from this page, and use it in the table or matrix row headers beside each carrier's consumption.

Three steps from this page to your report

01
Pick and colour
Choose one of the energy & utilities icons below and set its colour to match your theme.
02
Copy the format you need
SVG or PNG for Image visuals and button icons; the DAX measure or data URI for tables, matrices and cards; theme icon JSON for conditional formatting.
03
Bind it in Power BI
For a measure, set Measure tools → Data category to Image URL. For theme icons, import the theme and choose the icon in Conditional formatting → Icons.

Want the icon next to a formatted value with a target colour? The free DAX SVG measure builder draws icon + value cards, and the conditional formatting icons recipe walks through custom icon sets end to end.

Questions about these icons

Can I use these energy & utilities icons in commercial Power BI reports?

Yes. They come from open-source sets under the MIT or ISC licence (24 from Lucide, 24 from Tabler Icons, 8 from Heroicons, 24 from Fluent UI System Icons), which allow commercial use. Keep the licence notice when you redistribute the icon files themselves; the full texts are on the licence page. Licence texts · licence file (.txt)

Why does my DAX icon show as text?

The measure's Data category must be Image URL (Measure tools → Data category). Also check that every # in the SVG is written as %23, which the copied measure already does.
