A practical guide to Australia's new rules and how the Denodo Platform helps you meet them
Australia's energy & utilities sector is going through its biggest shake-up in a generation. The national electricity market serves close to 10 million customers, and more than 4 million small-scale rooftop solar systems have been installed under the Clean Energy Regulator's national scheme.
At the same time, volatile wholesale prices, ageing grid assets, and extreme weather are pushing operators to rethink how they manage and share data. Compounding the situation, a wave of new rules is arriving, bringing tougher security duties for critical infrastructure, mandatory reporting of ransomware payments, stronger privacy protections (including new transparency duties for AI-driven decisions), and a national data exchange for consumer energy resources run by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
Meeting these obligations, while maintaining reliable operations, requires a data infrastructure built for distributed, time-sensitive work, not one that forces every obligation through a single data repository. The Denodo Platform provides a centralized data access layer that unifies distributed data in real time, without requiring replication. With its universal semantic layer and rich metadata, the Denodo Platform provides consistent business meaning, making it easier for users to find, understand, and trust the available data, and it equips AI applications with AI-ready data.
This solution brief explains how the Denodo Platform facilitates compliance with these new regulations.
