  Live probes of https://cdr.energymadeeasy.gov.au on 2026-07-27 plus
  https://www.aer.gov.au/energy-product-reference-data. The extended document is
  authored by the Data Standards Body and is deliberately left unmodified; this
  overlay records what is true of the AER's deployment of it — which operations are
  actually served, at which versions, on which real server.

      Not published by the AER. Harvested verbatim from the Consumer Data Standards
      because it is the contract the AER serves. The AER implements 2 of the 23

      AER-operated Consumer Data Right energy Product Reference Data host. Anonymous,
      no accreditation. {brand} is a retailer path segment resolved from the ACCC CDR
      Register (79 of 84 registered energy brands resolve here).

          Retailer brand path segment, e.g. agl, origin, energyaustralia, aurora,
          engie, powershop, energy-locals, ergon. An unrecognised value returns HTTP
          200 with meta.totalRecords 0 rather than 404.

      404 on the AER host. Consumer data is held by retailers as primary data holders;
      access requires ACCC accreditation, consumer consent, OAuth2/OIDC and mTLS. The
      same is true of every other /energy/accounts and
      /energy/electricity/servicepoints path in this document.
