Some networks now pay up to 15c/kWh extra when you export during the evening peak. From FY27, most of the networks Amber operates in offer one of these two-way tariffs (sometimes called a solar export or CER tariff).

The details differ between networks, but the structure is similar: a bonus for exports during the evening peak, and a small charge for exports in the middle of the day, when the grid is already full of solar.

For more on how network tariffs work, see Tariffs explained. To find out which tariff you're on now, see What tariff am I on?

This article covers each network's two-way tariff and how to switch. To check which network you're on, open the Amber app, tap ‘Settings’ and look at the first line of the ‘Tariff Information’ section.

Powercor

Powercor's two-way network tariff is Residential CER (PRCER). It pays a bonus for exports in the evening during summer and winter, when the grid needs energy most, and charges a small amount for midday exports during the sunnier months, when the grid is already full of solar.

Details

Export rewards and charges:

• Export reward: 7c/kWh bonus for exports from 4pm–9pm in December–February and June–August. For example, if the feed-in price is 5c/kWh during those hours, you'd get 12c/kWh.
• Export charge: 1c/kWh for exports from 11am–4pm, every day from September to May. The first 1kWh each day is free.

Network import charges on this tariff:

• Peak: 27.86c/kWh from 4pm–9pm in December–February and June–August, and 20.80c/kWh from 4pm–9pm in other months
• Saver: 1c/kWh from 11am–4pm, so midday grid imports are cheaper
• Off-peak: 4.20c/kWh from 9pm–11am

SmartShift factors in these export rewards and charges when deciding when to export from your battery, so you don't have to manage this yourself.

For the full rate breakdown, see Powercor's tariff schedule for FY27.

Who this tariff is likely to benefit

This is general information only, not personalised advice. Your actual benefit will depend on your usage patterns.

• ✅ You have enough battery capacity to export to the grid from 4pm–9pm through summer and winter
• ✅ You can use most of your own solar from 11am–4pm to keep midday exports low. Hot water systems, pool pumps, EV charging, spare battery capacity and solar curtailment all help.
• ❌ It's probably not for you if you regularly import a lot of power during the evening peak, or can't limit your solar exports during the day

How to switch

To switch to Powercor's Residential CER (PRCER), tap the button below to open the tariff switcher in the Amber app, choose PRCER and confirm the switch.

Switch to PRCER in the Amber app

We'll send you a confirmation email once we've raised the tariff change with Powercor. The change generally shows up in the market within two weeks. After that, the new rates will appear in your app and SmartShift will factor them in when deciding when to export from your battery.

Things to consider before switching

• Powercor allows two network tariff changes per year, so if you switch and decide it's not for you, you can move again
• There's no “no worse off” guarantee, so it's worth checking your usage pattern is a good fit before you switch
• The export reward only applies in December–February and June–August, while the export charge applies from September to May. So in September–November and March–May, you'll pay for midday exports without getting an evening reward
• If you often import from 4pm–9pm, this may not be the right tariff for you

CitiPower

CitiPower's two-way network tariff is Residential CER (CRCER). It pays a bonus for exports in the evening during summer and winter, when the grid needs energy most, and charges a small amount for midday exports during the sunnier months, when the grid is already full of solar.

Endeavour Energy

Endeavour Energy's two-way tariff is the Residential Prosumer Tariff (N61). It pays a bonus for exports during the 4pm–8pm peak on business days, on top of Amber's wholesale feed-in price, with a bigger bonus from November to March.

Details

Export rewards and charges:

• Export reward: 11.7131c/kWh bonus for exports from 4pm–8pm in November–March, and 3.4702c/kWh in April–October. For example, if the feed-in price is 10c/kWh from 4pm–8pm in November, you'd get 21.7131c/kWh.
• Export charge: 1.86c/kWh for midday exports (10am–2pm). The first 8kWh each day is free.

The export reward only applies on business days, so you won't get it on weekends or public holidays.

SmartShift factors in these export rewards and charges when deciding when to export from your battery, so you don't have to manage this yourself.

For the full rate breakdown, see Endeavour Energy's network price list.

Who this tariff is likely to benefit

This is general information only, not personalised advice. Your actual benefit will depend on your usage patterns.

How well you do depends on two things: how much of your own solar you can use from 10am–2pm, which keeps you under the 8kWh daily allowance, and how much you can export from your solar or battery from 4pm–8pm.

If you're unsure, consider trying the tariff from November to March, when the export reward is highest.

Making this tariff work for you

• Move your energy use to 10am–2pm where you can. Washing, drying, cooking, pool pumps, electric hot water, heating and cooling, and EV, e-bike or tool charging all help limit midday exports.
• Use less energy after 4pm, so more is left to export during the peak.

How to switch

To switch to Endeavour Energy's Residential Prosumer Tariff (N61), tap the button below to open the tariff switcher in the Amber app, choose N61 and confirm the switch.

Switch to N61 in the Amber app
