New community request - Amber Electric Users (aussie.zone)

A community for users of the wholesale electricity provider Amber to discuss strategies for optimising energy use, and request help with understanding how energy bills work with wholesale electricity.

There are several Amber groups on Facebook and Discord, but nothing that is publicly accessible or viewable without an account.

EDIT: The name is still under consideration. Suggestions for a name to encompass all users of wholesale electricity prices are appreciated. I'm currently leaning toward "Wholesale Energy Australia".

I don't see it, sorry.

I'd prefer communities be more about concepts or places than specific brands or companies.

But even if the proposal were about a community for electricity or energy generally instead of a particular company... It's still a no from me. I don't really see either of those as topics that would attract much daily/weekly discussion.

See my other comment reply for more context.

Amber is currently an Australian only electricity company, and the users are unusually involved compared to other energy retailers.

I think targeting wholesale pricing specifically instead of just Amber could be better. For the foreseeable future the two user groups would be identical, but a wholesale group would also encompass any emerging wholesale providers.
