The company operates by passing through wholesale market prices directly to customers rather than using traditional fixed retail tariffs, allowing electricity costs to fluctuate based onsupply and demand conditions in the energy market. The business provides a digital platform that enables customers to monitor electricity prices in real time and adjust their usage patterns to periods when energy is cheaper and more abundant. It also integrates with home solar systems, batteries, and electric vehicles, allowing users to automate energy consumption, storage, and export decisions to optimize cost outcomes and energy efficiency.Amber develops software tools and automation systems that support dynamic energy management, including smart scheduling features and integration with connected home energy devices.
