Amber Electric feed-in tariffs by state and network
Amber Electric's market plans pay the wholesale price for exports, so this table shows where it has plans and how many carry a wholesale-linked feed-in, not a rate. Where the data lists no wholesale-linked plan, the row shows the rate it does list.

Amber Electric's VPP and battery programs
Amber SmartShift
Amber passes wholesale electricity prices straight through to you. SmartShift automatically charges your battery when prices are low and exports when they're high.
The program pages list the credits, eligible batteries, reserve and lock-in terms from Amber Electric's own pages, with the date each was checked.
Solar Sharer plans
Solar Sharer plans charge nothing for power you use during a set midday window, up to a daily limit. The AER plan data lists Amber Electric Solar Sharer plans in NSW, QLD and SA. How the offer works, and every retailer's plans, are on our Solar Sharer page.

Rate history
We started recording snapshots of the AER plan data on 28 September 2026, so Amber Electric's history here starts then. The first snapshot was a partial pull (15 retailers) that included Amber Electric. The table shows the best generally available flat rate in each snapshot.
| State | 28 Sept 2026 | 29 Sept 2026 | 1 Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSW | Wholesale price | Wholesale price | Wholesale price |
| VIC | 0c, no cap | 0c, no cap | 0c, no cap |
| QLD | Wholesale price | Wholesale price | Wholesale price |
| SA | Wholesale price | Wholesale price | Wholesale price |
| ACT | Wholesale price | Wholesale price | Wholesale price |
No change between 28 Sept 2026 and 1 Oct 2026. 3 snapshots 3 days apart can't show a trend; the table gains a column each time we refresh the data.
What an export is worth
On Amber Electric's wholesale-linked plans, each kWh you export earns the wholesale price at that moment, so its value changes through the day. Each kWh of solar you use yourself instead saves a kWh at your plan's usage rate, which is on the plan's fact sheet.
Our savings calculator estimates both halves for your postcode and system size, and a home battery stores daytime solar for the evening instead of exporting it.
