Amber is an Aussie-owned electricity provider and a tech company on a mission to shift Australia to 100% renewables faster. We do this by rewarding customers with savings when they use energy when it’s greener and cheaper. For those with solar and a battery, we also help you put energy back into the grid when it’s needed most - and get rewarded for it.
As Australia’s only true wholesale electricity provider for Aussie households, our app gives customers access to the real-time wholesale price of energy for their home, as well as how much renewable energy is in the grid.
With visibility over exactly what you’re paying at any given time and how much energy you’re using, Amber customers can take back control of energy usage and costs - whether you’re doing your laundry or charging your EV.
Customer features include:
- A detailed live price page, with specific callouts and notifications for when prices are extremely low, or unusually high, allowing you to plan your usage to make the most of cheaper, greener energy
- Separate live prices and forecast for your solar feed-in and controlled load usage
- Half-hourly usage data for each previous day
- A detailed breakdown of your electricity usage history, including daily usage graphs, daily costs, benchmarking against averages and the government’s Default Market Offer.
- The ability to track your performance over time with Amber, with averages of your wholesale price over a weekly, monthly, quarterly or six month window via the Your Week With Amber feature.
With Amber for Batteries, home battery owners can accelerate payback on their home battery by combining Ambers SmartShift™ battery automation and control features with our wholesale pricing.
Now, for the first time, battery owners can:
- Gain the control that they always wanted over their battery, with the power to export, charge and preserve their battery at the press of a button within the Amber app.
- Get paid the same feed-in tariffs that big fossil fuel generators earn, with wholesale FiTs that can reach $19/kWh and the ability to receive every cent that their energy is worth at the time it is exported.
- Boost their energy savings from their solar and battery with smart automation that continually hunts for the best prices to export and charge their battery.
- See the daily plan for their battery in the Amber app
We are currently in the process of developing our EV smart charging product which will automate EV charging in line with user preferences, the price of energy, and the amount of renewable energy in the grid.
