Powershop is an Australian retail energy brand selling electricity in New South Wales, Victoria, south-east Queensland and South Australia, and gas in New South Wales and Victoria. It is operated by Powershop Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 41 154 914 075), a wholly owned Shell Energy Australia business since Shell completed its acquisition from Meridian Energy in February 2022. Powershop sits at the retail end of the energy value chain — it buys wholesale, bills the customer, and owns the customer relationship — and is known for its "Powerpacks" prepay purchasing model, GreenPower add-on, and EV Day/EV Night plans. Its API posture is entirely regulatory, not commercial: Powershop publishes NO first-party developer portal, no API keys, and no self-serve documentation, and has publicly said since 2017 that it has no public API. What it does have is a verified Consumer Data Right (CDR) energy implementation. Powershop is a designated CDR energy data holder listed live on the ACCC CDR Register with a public base URI of https://public.cdr.powershop.com.au, which returns standards-conformant Consumer Data Standards responses for /cds-au/v1/discovery/status and /cds-au/v1/discovery/outages without authentication. Its Generic Tariff (plan) data is served openly and anonymously from the Australian Energy Regulator's Energy Made Easy CDR host, where 482 Powershop electricity and gas plans are retrievable with no credentials at all. The customer-level data the mandate actually exists to unlock — accounts, billing, invoices, payment schedules, concessions, plus AEMO-sourced metering, NMI standing and DER register data — is real, documented, and reachable only by an accredited data recipient acting on an authenticated consumer consent. Open tariff data, closed consumer data: a mandate that was implemented, not merely claimed.
Powershop publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: CDR Generic Tariff (Energy Plans) API, CDR Discovery API, and CDR Energy Consumer Data API. Tagged areas include Energy, Australia, Utilities, Electricity, and Gas.
Powershop’s developer surface includes authentication, changelog, API reference, support, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, and 26 more developer resources.
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.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

description: 'The consented, accreditation-gated half of Powershop''s Consumer Data Right obligation. Powershop''s own published
CDR policy names the data it shares — customer data, account data (account number, creation date, product data, payment
arrangements, concessions and rebates), invoice and billing data, and AEMO-sourced data comprising metering usage data,
NMI standing data and DER (solar) register data — which maps onto the CDR Energy API resources for accounts, balances,
invoices, billing, payment schedules, concessions, electricity service points, usage and DER. Access requires status as
an ACCC accredited data recipient (or an authorised representative) holding a valid CDR consent: the consumer is redirected
from the ADR to Powershop, verifies identity with a one-time password by email, and selects the accounts, data types and
sharing duration. The authenticated base URI is not published anonymously and is resolved through the CDR Register over
mutual TLS, so no base URL is asserted here. Consents are managed at https://dashboard.cdr.powershop.com.au/ (HTTP 200
on 2026-07-27).'
