Amber is an Australian-owned electricity provider and technology company dedicated to accelerating the transition of Australia to 100% renewable energy. The company encourages customers to save by incentivizing energy usage when pricing is lower and more sustainable, facilitated by user-friendly technology. For those utilizing solar energy and battery storage, Amber provides guidance on exporting energy back to the grid during peak demand periods, allowing users to benefit financially.
