About AEMO Australian Energy MCP Server
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.
AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use AEMO Australian Energy tools. Connect 12 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.
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
