Energy Retailers are Not really Retailers, as they Only supply you with an Energy Bill !

However, having Solar Array & Energy Storage system, allows you to harvests & stores all of your generated Energy, allows you to totally eliminate your energy bills, and that allows you the option to choose if/who you export/sell any excess energy too!

In 2026, AMBER Energy is a New Disruptive Energy Retailer, that does things Totally Different, by selling Customers Electricity at the Live, On-market Wholesale Rates !

Commonly the Live Energy Import Cost is from 4~15cents kWh all Day, with the Cost Only increasing between 3pm~8pm (for 5 hours), to what is the Normal Live energy Rate of around 30c~45c kWh for approx. 4~5 hours.  It is best if you have Energy Storage, as then you have total Control of the way You Purchase or Export your Energy, by either using Ambers Smartshift Live pricing, or switch Off Smartshift, and Control your Power Station's Import & Export Manually, as You see fit.

Spot market price spikes have certainly increased in the last few years, whether or not this will remain a permanent feature of the wholesale market is unknown, in Australia with the abundance and affordability of Solar, it open the way for the possibility of Pumped Hydro, meaning during the day water is pumped back upstream (higher elevation) to a Dam, Lake etc. then the water is released and used in Peak demand times, like in the evening, But whilst we have dumb self serving highly Political & Highly Unskilled politicians in office, we may never see this happening unless privately funded, however the future looks bright in this area due to the current cost of Solar & Energy Storage.

The Higher number of energy spikes mean bigger savings for Peak Time selective energy Exporting via Amber Energy !

Peak Time Rebate (PTR):

How much will a selective Energy program actually earn you?

The answer is impossible to know, however if you are with AMBER Energy, there are customers that have been paid $135.00/kWh, at times there is a Shortfall in supply.

The amount of credit that someone could earn from selective FIT could range between -5c kWh to as much as $350 kWh – depending on the Live rate paid and amount of energy Exported back into the state grid.

Independent Energy Management System

Now that solar Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) rebate rates are so low across Australia, there’s little incentive or reason for any solar system owner to export their excess energy back into the state grid, as they would save far more money by 'self-consuming' their own generated energy.  That is the main reasons the popularity of Energy Storage has grown rapidly, batteries provide an unprecedented degree of energy self-sufficiency for households and businesses.

If you already have a Solar system without batteries, then becoming Totally energy independent will be a LOT cheaper, as you only need to purchase Energy Storage slightly greater than your Overnight energy consumption, the more Energy Storage the better !

Note: We Only recommend you maintain a grid connection as back-up, until you can analyse if it is worth paying the $30 monthly Charge ($360 year) to remain State Grid Connected.

The real Cost to remain State Grid Connected equates to you First having to Gift Over 1'000kWh of Energy per year just to cover the $30 Month to remain connected, before you get any FIT.

The Pro's & Con's to consider;

• If you Remain State Grid Connected: You can try to Off-set the $30 monthly Connection Fees, with a FIT of 8c kWh, it takes 10kWh per Day of Gifted Energy!
• If you Go Off-Grid: A Battery & Generator is all that is needed, then other than equipment failure, you won't have to Pay for Power for the next 30+ years!
• It's all about whether you Waste or Utilise your Excess Energy Generated by your Solar system and any other Form of Power Generation you have!

Even with a low $8c Feed-in-Tarrif, you will need to Generate & Gift 300kWh of excess energy per Month to cover a $30 month "State Grid Supply Charge", or alternatively install a cheap $1'500 4.5kW silenced automatic start generator to blackout proof your premises, our silenced Generators are very economical  to operate and able be converted to run on FREE Bio-gas, LPG, Petrol is the standard Fuel, and should be run-in on Petrol before converting to Bio-Gas/LPG.

These are some of the better Energy Retailers;

• (1) National: AMBER Energy gives you access to Commercial Energy from 8c~15c kWh for 8:30pm~3:00pm the following Day.
• (2) NSW/QLD/VIC: Red Energy is 100% owned by Snowy Mountains Hydro.
• (3) QLD/NSW/VIC: Power Shop is Canberra based company.
• (4) ACT: Simply Energy Canberra based company.
• (5) QLD/NSW/VIC/SA: Diamond Energy Victorian based company.
• (6) QLD/NSW/VIC/QLD Origin Energy Own several Solar Farms.

Remember: You will note We are not focused on large profits like many business, we hope you will consider what we are offering, the bottom line is you will always need to get a qualified electrician to grid connect your system, we only offer the gateway to true Energy independence, allowing you to build your own affordable Micro Power Grid.

Peer to Peer (P2P) Energy Trading

Several Australian trials in the Residential & Commercial market have been success, partially because there is no need for funding.
