I agree — this is a very much needed feature, especially for large installations where a single Home Assistant instance is used to automate and manage multiple apartments or buildings. You could also count 359 upvotes from a similar feature request on the community forum. |

This would be a killer-feature. Not that anything beats homeassistant as it is now... |

+1 for this one. Need to run a second ha currently only to have the other location showing its own energy dashboard. Would be really great to have it in one instance of HA. |

I'd like to see a cost tracking feature added to individual devices. |

When will this option be added? It's very strange that it's not in HA. I spent several hours trying to configure this with chatgpt - even he thought this feature was in HA! |

Describe the enhancement
Currently, Home Assistant allows only a single instance of the built-in Energy Dashboard. However, many users operate in environments with multiple smart meters or separate energy tracking needs (e.g. for different buildings, flats, or power sources heatpumps wallboxes, separate photovoltaik). The enhancement would enable users to create multiple, independently configurable Energy Dashboards, each with its own set of sources and consumption and photovoltaik entities
Each dashboard should:
->Have its own configuration UI (like the existing one)
->Allow selection of different grid, solar, battery, and consumption sensors
->Be accessible from the Energy section or through navigation links
->Optionally be named or labeled by the user (e.g. "Main House", "Heatpump", "Office", "Saloon", Wallbox, etc.)
->Intern i would use energy_dashbord_1, energy_dashbord_2 and so on. I think a open limit would be greate, if not possible i think 10 is a good number.
Use cases
Multiple Smart Meters: Users with more than one physical smart meter (e.g. house + guest house, or house + business).
Separate Buildings or Zones: People monitoring energy in separate structures like a workshop, garage, or rented apartment.
Sub-metering: Advanced users tracking consumption on different floors, tenants, or devices.
Solar + Grid Segregation: Users with solar systems who want to analyze solar generation and grid consumption separately or for multiple arrays.
EV Owners: Users who want to track EV charging separately from household consumption.
Visual examples
Anything else?
Workarounds like creating custom Lovelace dashboards, using templates or helper sensors are possible but lack the ease and powerful visualization of the native Energy Dashboard.
This feature could also support sharing or exporting dashboard views (e.g., sharing only the "Apartment Energy" view with a tenant).
It would make Home Assistant more scalable for commercial or multi-unit residential applications.
