Live fuel type breakdown across all six Australian energy regions, updated every 30 minutes from AEMO generation data.
Australia's electricity generation mix shows the real-time proportion of each fuel type contributing to the grid — coal, gas, solar, wind, hydro, and battery storage. This mix changes continuously as generators are dispatched by AEMO to meet demand, respond to weather conditions, and follow market price signals.
In the National Electricity Market (NEM), generation data is published at 5-minute dispatch intervals for NSW, VIC, SA, QLD, and TAS. In the Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM), Western Australia publishes facility-level SCADA data separately. gridIQ aggregates both sources by fuel type every 30 minutes to provide a unified view across all six regions.
Each region page shows the current generation breakdown with a donut chart, renewable percentage, and total output in megawatts. See how the generation mix drives wholesale costs on our live electricity prices page, or track the resulting emissions with real-time carbon intensity.
