SA Power Networks

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.

SA Power Networks is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Energy, Australia, Utilities, Electricity, and Grid.

SA Power Networks’ developer surface includes engineering blog, developer portal, documentation, support, authentication, and 18 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.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

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/.

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/sa-power-networks: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
