About the API

The Capacity API is used by facility operators and trading participants to submit and receive data relating to capacity trades and day ahead auction for AEMO’s Capacity Transfer Platform (CTP) and Day-Ahead Auction (DAA) market systems.

Getting Access

To participate, Trading Participants must register as an auction participant by entering into an Auction Agreement with AEMO.

All registered auction participants can use the capacity auction.

Auction participants are predominantly:

• Shippers (Trading Participants) registered to participate in the capacity auction.

• Nominated Agent Participants appointed jointly (such as an unincorporated joint venture) or individually (such as under a corporate group). Appointing members are jointly and severally liable for the acts of the agent. AEMO manages the relationship between appointing and agent participants.
