description: 'SA Power Networks is South Australia''s sole electricity distributor — the poles-and-wires DNSP that builds,
  maintains and upgrades the network delivering power to around 900,000 homes and businesses, and the operator of the state''s
  Flexible Exports dynamic solar export scheme. It sits between the transmission network and the retailers, holding meter
  data, network capacity data and DER connection data but selling nothing to consumers directly. Its API posture is empty
  by design: Australia''s Consumer Data Right was extended to energy and is live, but the designation names electricity retailers
  as primary data holders and AEMO as the secondary data holder — distributors are not designated, and SA Power Networks does
  not appear among the 84 brands on the live CDR energy register. There is no developer portal, no documented API, and no
  machine-readable contract of any kind. Third parties reach a customer''s meter data only by registering as an Authorised
  Representative and logging into a web portal; network capacity is a registration-gated map viewer; the genuinely open surface
  is bulk file downloads (zone substation data, the Distribution Annual Planning Report, the embedded generation register)
  that anyone can pull anonymously but that carry a redistribution restriction rather than an open licence.'
