Amber Electric

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 and by providing them with smart tech that makes doing this super simple. 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 EVs, Amber automatically finds the cheapest moments to charge your car, whether that's off your solar, when wholesale prices go negative and the grid pays you to plug in, or to get you the charge you need by morning as cheaply as possible.

Included in your subscription with a supported EV is:
- Ready-By: Need 80% by 7am? Set a target charge level and a deadline. Amber builds a plan using the cheapest available 5-minute price windows between now and your deadline to get the charge you need as cheaply as possible.
- Solar charging: Charge from your own excess solar, with no extra hardware needed. Amber reads data from your solar inverter directly to calculate what's spare and routes it to your car first. No compatible inverter? Amber falls back to a predictive
