SA Power Networks (SAPN) — Residential two-way tariff (RESELE) — FY2026-27

Who is this tariff good for?

RESELE pays an extra 13.2c/kWh on top of the wholesale feed-in price for electricity exported between 5pm–9pm, every day during November–March. Imports are also cheaper for most of the day, except for 5pm–9pm.

This makes it a good fit if:

• ✅ You have battery energy left to export in the evening during summer
• ✅ Your battery covers most of your evening usage, so your grid imports fall outside 5pm–9pm
• ✅ You charge an EV or run big appliances during the day (10am–4pm)

Once you're on this tariff, SmartShift takes into account these new prices and does the work for you.

Worth thinking about if:

• ❓ You import a lot from the grid between 5pm–9pm. Imports in that window can cost more on RESELE than on RTOU, all year round.

How does this compare to my current tariff?

Amber passes through network tariff costs directly. Network tariff costs 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

RESELE (two-way tariff) vs. RTOU (Time of Use)

With a battery and SmartShift, there is a strong case for switching tariff:

• Bonus on evening exports. Earn an extra 13.2c/kWh on top of wholesale prices between 5pm–9pm, November–March
• Cheaper morning and late-evening imports. Network imports from 6am–10am, 4pm–5pm and 9pm–midnight are cheaper by 10.7c/kWh, all year
• Cheaper daytime imports. Network imports from 10am–4pm are cheaper by 2.1c/kWh, all year

What’s the catch?

The main trade-off is the higher 36.0c/kWh peak import rate from 5pm–9pm (vs. 21.3c/kWh on RTOU). Using your battery to cover your usage in this window can help limit it, and SmartShift can help with this.

Our analysis found very little downside, and most customers were still better off on RESELE.

Amber passes network charges and bonuses straight through - we don't make any additional money by you switching tariffs, we just want you to make the most our of your battery with Amber

Things to consider before switching

• The reward and the cheaper imports run on different schedules. The export reward applies November–March, while the cheaper import rates apply all year
• SAPN allows one tariff change per retailer, once every 12 months
