Amber Electric

What does it take to bring an idea like Amberman to life? Some big ideas, a lot of laughs, and a shared passion for smarter, cleaner energy ⚡ Check out this behind the scenes look at how we made Amberman happen: https://lnkd.in/g8NNG2s2 Shout out to the suppliers that helped make Amberman soar! Giant Inflatables Australia, Seeker Agency, and Golden Square Car Park. Here’s to powering big ideas – and even bigger inflatables! 💚

The NSW BESS2 rebate is here, joining South Australia’s REPS VPP rebate as the second state-based scheme incentivising battery optimisation to accelerate the renewable transition. By connecting your battery to Amber’s SmartShift, you’ll unlock financial rewards, all while helping create a smarter, more sustainable energy future. In 2024 alone, Amber enabled over $300,000 in direct payments to South Australian customers through the REPS scheme - on top of the daily value SmartShift delivers. Now, NSW residents can tap into similar benefits with the new BESS2 rebate. Head to amber.com.au to find out how you could benefit.

Amberman has been soaring above the city skyline all week, surrounded by office towers and innovation. We reckon he's a pretty good reminder that even in the heart of the urban jungle, smarter, cleaner energy is within reach. Here’s to taking energy solutions to new heights. ⚡🌇

Introducing Amberman - the world’s tallest, smartest, greenest inflatable tube person! Amberman lets you know when renewables are dominating in the grid, meaning prices and emissions are low. When renewables hit 50%, he’ll be dancing in the sky! It’s a giant, unmissable reminder to charge your EV, run the dishwasher, or crank up the AC - saving you money and helping the planet. “Amberman is a fun way to show how we can all benefit when the grid’s greener,” said Chris Thompson, Co-CEO of Amber. “Every time he takes flight, it’s a clear sign that renewable energy is readily available, and that’s the perfect time to plug in, power up, and make the most of cheaper energy. It’s about making energy use smarter and simpler, helping everyday Aussies save money and lower emissions without extra effort.” Watch Amberman take flight at Golden Square Car Park, 217 Lonsdale St, from Monday 2 to Saturday 7 December, or via live webcam at amber.com.au
