Who is this tariff good for?
A10E offers an extra 15c/kWh on top of the wholesale feed-in price for electricity exported between 4pm–9pm, every day, all year. This makes it a strong option if:
- ✅ You have enough battery capacity to export between 4pm-9pm
- ✅ You can self-consume your solar between 11am-4pm to keep middle-of-the-day exports low (hot water systems, pool pumps, EV charging, excess battery capacity and solar curtailment)
- ❌ Don't switch if you can't manage solar exports during the day and can't export during the evening
How does this compare to my current tariff?
Network tariffs impact what you pay / earn on top of wholesale prices at Amber. The Live Prices screen will reflect your network tariff.
You can find your network tariff in the Settings tab, under Tariff Information
A10E (Two-way tariff) vs. A130 (ToU)
- Usage rates (imports) are the same - you won't notice a difference
- The two-way tariff A10E offers significant upside (bonus 15c/kWh) on exports from 4-9pm
- Exporting mid-day between 11am–4pm incurs a 3c/kWh penalty (above the allowance of 1 kWh/day)
- If you have capacity to export in the evening, there’s a strong case for switching
A10E vs. A100 (Flat)
- Usage rates (imports) are cheaper on the two-way tariff during all hours, except during 4-9pm
- The two-way tariff A10E offers significant upside (bonus 15c/kWh) on exports from 4-9pm
- Exporting mid-day between 11am–4pm incurs a 3c/kWh penalty (above the allowance of 1 kWh/day)
- If you have capacity to export in the evening, there’s a strong case for switching
Things to consider before switching
- Assess whether you have energy available for evening exports. If household usage, your battery reserve or export limits leave little to export between 4pm–9pm, daytime export charges could outweigh your rewards
- You can opt out at any time. Contact Amber to request a switch to another eligible network tariff. Jemena’s A10E rules allow customers to opt out at any time; noting the change needs some time to be processed
