Choose the right energy retailer for how you live

Jousto partners with forward-thinking retailers so you can trade, save, or simply set-and-forget — with automations that help you capture low/negative prices and avoid spikes.

Jousto Energy — Retailer options hero

Three models, three ways to win

Wholesale market

Buy power at 5-minute spot prices. Sometimes high, often very low or even negative. Great for solar owners, small business — and renters with portable storage.

Time-of-Use (TOU)

Predictable peak/off-peak pricing. No extreme spikes, still plenty of off-peak value. Perfect if you prefer “set and forget.”

  • Best for: households wanting simpler bills
  • Pair with Jousto to run loads off-peak automatically
  • Partner: Energy Locals

Hybrid strategies

Many customers use TOU for stability while Jousto automations schedule charging/heating in the cheapest windows.

Our retailer partners

We work with three leading options — two wholesale market retailers and one time-of-use retailer.

Dynamic pricing can work for everyone

Homeowners with solar

Export during high-price windows; soak up cheap power to heat water, charge EVs, or pre-cool your home.

See: Solar Curtailment

e-Mobility & small business

Be “paid to charge” an e-bike or scooter in negative price events. SMEs can shift HVAC, hot water and equipment loads automatically.

About price spikes. Wholesale prices can occasionally surge. The Jousto Hub can pause non-essential loads and prioritise stored/solar energy until prices settle — keeping you in control.
