INTRAREGIONALLOC

INTRAREGIONALLOC shows allocations of intra-regional residues to participants.

INTRAREGIONALLOC data is confidential to the relevant participant.

Source

The data in INTRAREGIONALLOC changes infrequently.

Column Schema

EFFECTIVEDATE

Effective Date of Allocation Details

Warning

Despite what the name suggests, this is a datetime, not a date.

SQL Type: DATE Polars Type: pl.Datetime()

This column is mandatory, and a primary key.

Example: 2026/01/20 00:05:00

PARTICIPANTID

Unique participant identifier

For more information, see the dedicated documentation page.

SQL Type: VARCHAR2(10) Polars Type: pl.Categorical

This column is mandatory, and a primary key.

REGIONID

Region Identifier

For more information, see the dedicated documentation page.

The SQL type is VARCHAR2(10). This is actually a factor/enum, with values:

• QLD1

• VIC1

• TAS1

• NSW1

• SA1

• SNOWY1

This column is mandatory, and a primary key.

VERSIONNO

Version No in respect to effective date

SQL Type: NUMBER(5,0) Polars Type: pl.UInt32

This column is mandatory, and a primary key.

ALLOCATION

Allocation Percent / 100

SQL Type: NUMBER(12,5) Polars Type: pl.Float64

This column is not mandatory.

LASTCHANGED

Last changed date/time

For more information, see the dedicated documentation page.

SQL Type: DATE Polars Type: pl.Datetime()

This column is not mandatory.

Example: 2026/01/20 00:05:00

Code Examples

Polars

Casting is enums, categoricals etc is not essential, but may speed up parsing. Swapping int for pl.UInt16, pl.Int32 would also speed up parsing. However some of the datatypes are inferred, so they may be wrong.

This code deduplicates for you. Deduplication is normally only required across multiple months.

This code assumes that all columns are present, which may not be true for older files.

Availability

Visibility: Private

This table is not available in the public monthly MMSDM archive. Is is only available to registered market participants over FTP inside a VPN.

Deduplication and PDR Loader Configuration

The primary keys are:

• EFFECTIVEDATE

• PARTICIPANTID

• REGIONID

• VERSIONNO

The transaction type is "insert", which means that you will usually not see duplicate data. If you do, you can deduplicate based on the primary keys, without sorting first. Rows from different files with the same primary keys should have the same values.

PDR Loader configuration is:

Report Name	Report Subtype	Version
MARKET_CONFIG	INTRAREGIONALLOC	1

This means that the CSV files start with metadata columns:

I,MARKET_CONFIG,INTRAREGIONALLOC,1,...
D,MARKET_CONFIG,INTRAREGIONALLOC,1,...

Indexes

• LASTCHANGED
