We are aware that WEM generation data is currently delayed - upstream source server from AEMO is down, we're working on getting the data back up.

👩‍💻 Curtailment data is also available via the API and the Python and Typescript clients. There are examples in both repositories showing how to demonstrate time-of-day curtailment, demand correlations and more

🔍 Here's an example from last Sunday at midday (21st of September) showing 20% of total demand being curtailed, while the grid was at 75% renewable generation.

📊 On Open Electricity, you can now see: - Real-time curtailed power (MW) for wind & solar - Daily/weekly energy lost (MWh) - When curtailment peaks (during the day, windy nights) Explore on the tracker website: https://t.co/qxPZpB8bVN

💡Curtailment = when wind & solar farms are told to reduce output below what they could generate It happens when: - Too much generation, not enough demand - Transmission lines are full - Grid stability requirements more detail on our docs site: https://t.co/tKRXytqEZm

⚡️New Feature - Open Electricity now tracks renewable energy curtailment across the NEM in real-time. See how much wind & solar generation is not being consumed due to grid constraints and oversupply.

⚡️📝 Our August 2025 Dispatch is out! Follow the latest trends on the Australian electricity grid. This month is a lot about batteries - new battery records on the NEM, West Australia warming up their battery facilities with records - and more. See below 👇

https://t.co/g9Zuns44hn You can send us feedback with options from our community page at: https://t.co/XELtYepCDJ

On the Open Electricity website you can preview upcoming features with the lab icon selector in the bottom-right. There may be a new preview feature there now 🤫 👀

the goal is to communicate visually how the Australian electricity grid is transitioning and growing. as always we're open to feedback or any other suggestions. enjoy! ⚡️🚀

you can answer questions like "how much battery generation capacity has been added to the NEM by year" and view the growth of battery deployments

the advanced charting features behind the hamburger menu allow you to change the view - like this view of simplified fueltechs by proportion of total capacity

default view shows a breakdown by all fueltechs, and you can use the options in the top-left to view by network or network region

it's available on the Open Electricity tracker website at: https://t.co/oHROG0LoS1 with history going back to 1999.

⚡️ Open Electricity Capacity Charts! 📈 Our electricity tracker website now has a new visualisation where you can track the state and rate of change of generation capacity on the Australian grid. See some examples and more detail in the thread below 🧵👇

The platform is still in an early access beta period and subject to changes - but we're open to feedback! You can track v3 deprecation and raise any issues on GitHub at https://t.co/vJOlmO5jOj

Signup for an API key at platform and view the documentation at https://t.co/OjmCu3We3c - there are client libraries available for Typescript (npm install openelectricity) and Python (uv install openelectricity)

We have soft launched a new v4 of the API at https://t.co/sOf87QJ7Dd. The v3 of the old OpenNEM API is deprecated and will be taken offline on the 15th of August 2025. We want to assist anybody still using the old API interfaces to migrate to the new API.

If you're an OpenNEM v3 API user - we will be deprecating the endpoints in favour of the new OpenElectricity v4 Platform and API in the near future. More information below 👇
