AEMO variables

This page documents the AEMO (Australian Energy Market Operator) variables and derived fields used in supagrid. Data is sourced from AEMO public data.

Note: Data sourced from AEMO public data. See our Terms for data usage.

Variable reference

Variables are grouped by category. All time-series data uses AEST (UTC+10); the NEM does not observe daylight saving.
