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 API contracts indexed 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.
The Alinta Energy catalog on APIs.io includes 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Alinta Energy’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, documentation, API reference, support, status page, and 30 more developer resources.

Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australia Consumer Data Right register (accredited data recipients; banking, energy, non-bank lending) | covered | 37.7 (thin) | - | - |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
