AEMO Australian Energy MCP Connector for Claude

F

Access Australian electricity market data — spot prices, demand, generation by fuel type, emissions, and renewable energy proportions via OpenElectricity API.

12 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect to OpenElectricity API (powered by AEMO data) and bring real-time Australian energy market intelligence to any AI agent. Monitor the National Electricity Market (NEM) and Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM), track renewable energy transition, and analyze power generation across all Australian states.

What you can do

  • Spot Prices — Retrieve real-time and historical wholesale electricity prices (RRP) by Australian region (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, TAS)
  • Power Generation — Access total network generation and breakdown by fuel technology (solar, wind, coal, gas, hydro, battery)
  • Energy Demand — Monitor electricity demand across the NEM with 5-minute, hourly, daily, or monthly granularity
  • Facility Data — Get generation output from specific power stations, solar farms, wind farms, and battery installations
  • Renewable Proportion — Track what percentage of Australia's electricity comes from renewable sources in real-time
  • Regional Analysis — Compare power generation and demand across Australian states and territories
  • Emissions Tracking — Query pollution data including NOx, SO2, CO, PM10, PM2.5 from the National Pollutant Inventory
  • Market Updates — Fetch commentary and updates about price spikes, outages, and notable market events
  • Facility Registry — List all energy generation facilities with their fuel type, status, and capacity
  • Available Metrics — Explore the full range of queryable metrics in the API
  • User Account — Check your API plan, rate limits, and usage statistics
  • Plans & Pricing — View available subscription tiers and features

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your OpenElectricity API Bearer token (free Community plan available)
  3. Start querying Australian energy data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Your AI becomes an Australian energy analyst, helping you understand the grid, track the renewable transition, and make data-driven decisions.

Who is this for?

  • Energy Analysts — retrieve spot prices, generation mix, and demand forecasts for market reports
  • Sustainability Teams — monitor renewable energy proportions and emissions for environmental reporting
  • Researchers & Academics — access granular 5-minute interval data for energy studies and modeling
  • Homeowners with Solar — understand when wholesale prices are negative (solar duck curve) and optimize self-consumption
  • EV Owners — find optimal charging times when prices are low and renewable proportion is high
  • Policy Makers — track Australia's energy transition progress and state-by-state renewable adoption

What is the current electricity spot price across all Australian states?

I've fetched the current 5-minute spot prices for the NEM. NSW is trading at $85/MWh, VIC at $72/MWh, QLD at $91/MWh, SA at $68/MWh, and TAS at $79/MWh. South Australia has the lowest price driven by strong wind generation. The national average is $79/MWh.

Show me the energy mix breakdown for the NEM right now — what percentage comes from solar, wind, coal, and gas?

Here's the current generation mix for the NEM: Coal 48%, Gas 12%, Wind 18%, Utility Solar 11%, Rooftop Solar 7%, Hydro 3%, Battery 1%. Renewables total 39% right now. Coal remains the dominant source but wind and solar combined are approaching 30%.

What is the renewable energy percentage in Australia today compared to this time last year?

Fetching renewable proportion data... Today the NEM is generating 39% of its electricity from renewable sources. Comparing to the same week last year, renewables accounted for 35%. This represents a 4 percentage point increase year-over-year, driven primarily by new wind farm commissioning and expanded rooftop solar adoption.

The National Electricity Market (NEM) covers five regions: New South Wales (NSW1), Victoria (VIC1), Queensland (QLD1), South Australia (SA1), and Tasmania (TAS1). The API also supports the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) for Western Australia. Data is available at both the national aggregate level and broken down by individual region.
