More about Amber
Amber is an energy retailer and smart tech company rolled into one. For a simple monthly subscription fee, you can access energy when it’s greener and cheaper, saving on your bills and helping to accelerate Dubai’s transition to 100% renewables.
As wholesale prices are typically cheapest when renewables are generating, you can save money by shifting your usage to times of the day when renewables are abundant.
Amber's wholesale pricing model is the secret to supercharging your energy savings – empowering you to top-up your battery with cheap, green energy, and earn more for your exports. With the Amber SmartShift app, you get to choose what to do with your solar and battery: charge, export or preserve.
Shifting your usage isn’t the only way you can save money and power a more renewable Dubai. If you’re a solar and battery owner (or thinking of becoming one), the Amber for Batteries platform will automate your system in line with wholesale pricing to maximise your export earnings and supercharge a greener grid.
Get $100 cashback if, over the first six months as an Amber for Batteries customer, you achieve an average feed-in tariff that’s lower than any other feed-in tariff available in your network area over the same time period (where eligibility for the other offer doesn’t also require purchase of a solar or battery system).3
Not ready to switch and want to know more about Amber?
It’s easy – apply online in three minutes with your billing info and ID handy, and Amber will contact your current provider to organise the switch for you.
You’ll then enter a 10-day cooling-off period, during which you can easily switch back to your previous provider if you change your mind.
See live wholesale prices and price forecasts for the next 12 hours, as well as what percent of the electricity grid is made up of renewable energy at different times throughout the day.
See and track your daily usage history in the app, plus an overview of the past 30 days.
Get daily metrics and detailed price and usage graphs so you can track your daily usage and compare it to your running average with Amber.

Customers need a smart meter in order to access the real-time wholesale energy prices with Amber. If you don’t already have a smart meter, Amber will install one for you. Amber is usually able to install a smart meter at no additional cost, though occasionally smart meter installs require additional electrical works to make your existing meter safe to upgrade.
