E.ON Next partners with Amber to revolutionise energy consumption, with the aim of making energy more affordable and potentially profitable for UK customers

E.ON Next, one of the country's leading energy suppliers is proud to announce an exciting new partnership with Amber, an innovative Australian energy platform.

This collaboration marks a transformative step in E.ON Next’s ongoing commitment to empower customers: providing not only affordable energy but also a great opportunity for customers to turn their energy use into a profitable endeavour.

Amber's pioneering technology is set to change the way UK households and businesses interact with energy. By offering real-time access to dynamic energy prices, Amber gives consumers the power to make informed decisions about when to use electricity.

For example, allowing them to take advantage of when electricity prices are lower during off-peak periods or when generation and supply to the grid is higher than demand.

This ground-breaking approach has the potential to reduce energy bills, while also enabling users to sell surplus energy back to the grid when prices are high effectively turning energy into a revenue stream.

Unlocking the power of real-time energy markets

In contrast to traditional fixed-rate energy plans, Amber’s model offers a dynamic alternative that aligns directly with E.ON Next’s vision for a sustainable and customer-centric future.

As the UK continues to embrace renewable energy sources, the fluctuating nature of wind and solar power creates opportunities for consumers to buy electricity at very low prices when supply outpaces demand.

Amber’s platform, integrated with E.ON Next’s services, will provide customers with the tools and insights to optimise their energy use around these price variations.

“We are thrilled to partner with Amber and begin working towards bringing its innovative energy solution to the UK market,” said Chris Norbury, Chief Executive of E.ON UK. “This is another clear example of the playmaker role we have in making new energy work so that it is not only more affordable but also an asset for our customers and communities. By empowering consumers with real-time data and flexible pricing, we are helping to create a more sustainable and economically beneficial energy system for all.”

"At Amber, we’re passionate about transforming the way people interact with energy, and our partnership with E.ON Next is a significant step in that journey," said Dan Adams, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Amber. “This collaboration goes beyond providing consumers with the tools to unlock more value from their home battery and EVs —it’s about putting households at the centre of the energy transition.”

Empowering consumers to profit from energy efficiency

By using energy more intelligently and selling back surplus power, customers can not only save money but also contribute to a more sustainable system.

The partnership will also look to introduce further advanced smart home integrations, allowing customers to automate their energy use based on real-time prices.

For example, household appliances can be set to run during periods of low cost ensuring cost-effectiveness and convenience. This seamless integration of technology and energy management reflects E.ON Next’s vision of a smarter, more connected home.
