The Amber story

Amber Electric was born in 2017 out of two dreams: moving the world towards 100% renewable energy and using technology to improve people's lives.

Co-Founders of Amber Electric, Chris and Dan sitting next to each other.

Our purpose is to unlock the value of renewable energy for everyone

Power to the people

Our goal at Amber is to help customers save money while powering the transition to renewable energy.
‍
The Amber model is a cheaper way to buy power and the fastest way for Australia to reach 100% renewable energy.
"Because we charge a flat fee, our only incentive is to help our customers reduce their electricity costs"
- Chris Thompson, Co-CEO and Co-founder Amber Electric  

Our story

Amber was founded by Chris Thompson and Dan Adams in December 2017 with the goal of using new technologies to benefit customers and build a more sustainable world.
‍
Chris is motivated by using new technologies to improve people’s lives. Prior to Amber, Chris worked in Iran running Bamilo, Iran’s largest online marketplace and before that was with the Boston Consulting Group.
‍
Dan is passionate about moving the world towards 100% renewable energy. He’s spent the last 10 years working with Tesla, the Boston Consulting Group and building social movements around climate change.
"Renewable energy is now the cheapest form of energy. We want everyone to benefit from it"
