Alinta Energy

Alinta Energy is one of Australia's largest integrated energy retailers and generators, owned by Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises, supplying electricity and gas to more than a million homes and businesses across Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland while operating an owned and contracted generation portfolio of roughly 3,000 MW spanning gas, coal, wind, solar and battery storage, plus the Lumo Energy retail brand. It sits at the retail end of the value chain — the tier the Australian Consumer Data Right binds. Alinta is a designated and live CDR energy data holder: its own public base URI https://public.cdr.alintaenergy.com.au serves the standards-conformant discovery endpoints (confirmed HTTP 200), and 493 of its energy plans are published anonymously through the CDR generic plan data channel — but that plan channel is hosted by the Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy platform, not by Alinta. Its API posture is therefore honestly summarised as mandate-implemented but developer-closed: everything of substance sits behind ACCC accreditation and consumer consent, Alinta publishes no developer portal, no self-serve API, no proprietary OpenAPI and no open grid or market data of its own.

Alinta Energy publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Data Holder Customers API, Data Holder Operations API, Distributed Energy Resources API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Energy, Australia, Utilities, Electricity, and Gas.

Alinta Energy’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, documentation, API reference, support, status page, and 30 more developer resources.

Kin Score

Kin Score Kin Score How this is scored →
scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Energy & Utilities regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/alinta-energy: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
