The Authority will soon begin to decommission the EMI platform. A new ‘Data & insights’ hub on the Authority website will replace EMI and become the single place to go for electricity market data, tools, and insights on New Zealand’s electricity markets. See also a recent news item about the new Data & insights hub.

The Data & insights hub can be accessed directly from the menu items across the top of the Authority website.

Some EMI content is already available on the new Data & insights hub; we will migrate the rest across in the coming weeks:

Other content from the website has been relocated to the new Data & insights hub:  

Today we have disabled the ability to create an EMI login and we've begun to decommission the EMI forum. It will no longer be possible to create a discussion on the forum. We will also soon decommission the EMI mailbox.

If you have any feedback or suggestions on the ‘Data & insights’ hub, we would love to hear from you! Please email info@ea.govt.nz.

We will continue to update this post with further information and the timing of upcoming changes.

APIs

We've received a few questions about the APIs and the upcoming demise of EMI - the ICP connection data API (ie ICP API) and the wholesale market prices API (also referred to as the real-time dispatch API).

Throughout the transition away from EMI, both of these APIs will continue to operate as they do now using the same keys and without the need for users to make any changes.

However, there will come a time (likely around March 2026 or later) when the Azure tenant in which these API services are located will be shut down. But well before that time, the APIs will be rebuilt/replicated in a different Azure tenant and users will be invited to move across to the new instance of these APIs. This move will require re-registration to the API service and the use of new keys.

We don't have a precise date on when the new instances will be available although it will almost certainly be before the end of 2025. The API services will co-exist in both tenants for quite some time before the current/older one is shut down.
