AEMO

Australian Energy Market Operator API

AEMO runs the National Electricity Market (NEM). It publishes 5-minute dispatch prices, SCADA generation, demand, interconnector flows, and FCAS prices for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, and TAS.

Energy retail products, battery dispatch models, renewable-share analysis, carbon accounting, and trading research.

Why use ausdata.io. AEMO publishes ZIPs of CSVs on nemweb every 5 minutes. We ingest the stream and serve it as JSON, by region, with consistent timestamps.
