I require to capture the information of the energy consumption of all the suburbs that constitute New Zealand for research purposes. How can I retrieve the consumption details of a suburb such as "grey lynn"(for example) using the api provided by emi? I have implemented the shared code and passed my subscription key to retrieve the data for a specific filter using time intervals. But i am not able to deduce the details from the data i have got. Any idea how to approach this requirement?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi lathakarthigaa,

Thanks for your question. If you're at the Univerity of Auckland, there are some very knowledgeable students and staff that perhaps can assist with your understanding of the electricity market and wider industry. This will help you interpret the data you are able to access through EMI and the API.

To give you a couple of pointers:

Check out the network supply point table for mapping of grid nodes and locations www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Wholesale/Datasets/MappingsAndGeospatial
Historical grid export data is available www.emi.ea.govt.nz/Wholesale/Datasets/Metered_data/Grid_export or in the report www.emi.ea.govt.nz/r/b00wi
The real-time dispatch (RTD) API that you've subscribed to will have the load, generation, and price at (approx) five-minute resolution (although up to 15 mins delayed) by grid nodes. Note the RTD is run at the start of the five-minute interval, although there can be more runs within the five minutes. The RTP schedule is run at the end of the interval but still includes load and generation.

I've removed a few of the tags from your post as they were unhelpful to other users. I've also changed the category to reflect the data you are after.

Unfortunately, we aren't resourced to provide IT assistance on how to use the APIs themselves. It sounds like you are making progress, we have 200 other real-time API subscribers who have got it working and may be able to assist if you post a specific question.

Cheers,

Matthew
