Aspects extend to methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically commissioning an electrical system in industrial/commercial settings (e.g., a data center) to increase the likelihood that the electrical system functions as intended when released into production. Automated data collection devices can collect commissioning data related to electrical and other characteristics of electrical equipment. Automation software can access commissioning data from the automated data collection devices over a computer network. The commissioning data can be stored in a database for analysis. The commissioning data can be compared to pass/fail criteria and a commissioning report can be generated.
