Meter Data File Format

Within the National Electricity Market, Metering Data Providers are appointed to collect, process and deliver metering data to Participants and AEMO in the required file format.

Metering data delivered to participants is to conform to the Meter Data File Format Specification (currently MDFF NEM12 and NEM13). Metering data delivered to AEMO must conform to the MDM data file format as defined by the respective schema and as detailed within the ‘MDM File Format and Load Process’ documentation.

For further information on these documents, please contact: John Wiskin, Metering and Settlement
