Ausgrid Distribution zone substation data

Abstract

Ausgrid operates a network with over 180 zone substations. These substations form the boundary between the sub-transmission network and the distribution (11kV) network. In accordance with the National Electricity Rules Chapter 5 (Rule 5.13A), Ausgrid is making available historical interval demand data (in Megawatts) for all zone substations not subject to third party privacy concerns. Please refer to the Australian Energy Market Commission for further information on this rule.

Each year, within 30 business days of the publication of our Distribution and Transmission Annual Planning Report, Ausgrid will provide 12 months worth of interval data in .csv format. The Reporting Year (as defined in Rule 5.13A) will be from May to May (i.e the 2015/16 data will cover the period May 2015 to April 2016).
