Consumer Data Right (Energy)
The Consumer Data Right (CDR) is Australia's statutory consumer data-sharing regime, created under Part IVD of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and extended from banking into electricity by the Consumer Data Right (Energy Sector) Designation 2020. It is run by three bodies: the ACCC as lead regulator and operator of the CDR Register, the OAIC as privacy regulator, and the Treasury Data Standards Body, which writes the binding Consumer Data Standards. In energy the regime obliges electricity retailers to expose plans, accounts, billing, invoices, payment schedules, concessions, service points, interval usage and DER data through one identical, versioned API contract, with AEMO acting as the Secondary Data Holder gateway for NMI standing data, metering data and the DER register. Unlike almost every other energy-sector data mandate, this one is verifiably implemented rather than merely announced: the public CDR Register listed 84 energy data holder brands with live public base URIs when probed on 2026-07-27, and 53 of those base URIs returned standards-conformant product data anonymously on the first request. Its API posture is a clean two-speed split — genuinely open, unauthenticated market data (retail plan and tariff reference data, plus the participant register itself) sitting alongside consumer data that is closed behind ACCC accreditation, mutual TLS, FAPI-grade OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect and explicit, revocable consumer consent. Home market Australia.
Consumer Data Right (Energy) is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Consumer Data Right (Energy) is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.
