Caveats

  • ⚠ Market notices are an all-NEM feed and are not restricted by the optional region filter.
  • ⚠ Prices are AUD/MWh and power quantities are MW.
  • ⚠ Timestamps are NEM market time (UTC+10:00, no daylight saving) with an explicit +10:00 offset; each marks the end of its 5-minute interval.
