NEM Explorer: Ask Questions About AEMO and Australian Electricity Market Data

NEM Explorer is a natural-language interface for Australian National Electricity Market data. Ask questions about AEMO prices, dispatch, generation mix, batteries, FCAS, constraints, interconnector flows, and historical market events, then review the chart, explanation, and SQL behind the answer.

It is built by SCADA Miner for people who need fast, practical insight from NEM data without spending their first hour downloading MMSDM files, stitching together NEMWeb tables, or writing SQL from scratch.

What you can ask

NEM Explorer is designed for analysts, developers, asset operators, traders, consultants, policy analysts and technically curious energy people who want to move from a market question to an evidence-backed answer quickly.

  • Spot prices by NEM region, including negative price intervals and price spikes.
  • Dispatch and SCADA output for generators, batteries, wind farms, solar farms, and interconnectors.
  • Generation mix by fuel type across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania.
  • Battery revenue stacks across energy arbitrage and FCAS markets.
  • FCAS prices, enablement, causer-pays context, and market events.
  • Constraint, interconnector, and regional price separation questions.
  • Historical comparisons across days, weeks, seasons, or market events.
  • What-if scenarios to analyse impact of energy policy concepts

Example questions

  • What were the 10 most profitable wind farms by registered MW in March 2026?
  • Which regions had negative prices for more than 30% of the time last week?
  • Compare VIC and NSW spot prices over the last 7 days.
  • Which wind farms captured the highest $/MWh in Q3 2025?
  • What percentage of Queensland energy came from renewables this week?
  • Break down battery revenue across energy and FCAS markets.
  • Estimate the impact on spot prices if 200MW of extra load appeared between 11am-2pm in VIC last month

Why this is different from a dashboard

Traditional energy dashboards are useful when you already know where to click. NEM Explorer is built for open-ended market investigation. You can start with a rough question, inspect the returned chart and table, and then ask a follow-up in plain English.

For deeper work, the app also exposes the SQL behind the answer. That makes it easier to verify assumptions, reproduce a result, or use the SQL query as a starting point for your own analysis.

Data coverage

NEM Explorer reads from SCADA Miner’s curated warehouse of AEMO NEMWEB data, including dispatch, forecasts, pricing, generation, demand, FCAS, constraints, interconnector flows, and selected reference data. The warehouse is designed to make common market questions easier to answer than working directly from raw AEMO files.

For source context, see AEMO’s Market Management System data and market solver file documentation.

Who it is for

NEM Explorer is useful when you need to investigate a price event, understand dispatch behaviour, compare regional outcomes, check renewable penetration, review FCAS contribution factors, or quickly answer a market question for a client or internal team.
