Dozens of electricity retailers operate in Finland's electricity market, but the most important thing for consumers is to understand how the price is formed. With spot-priced electricity, the final cost consists of three parts: the Nord Pool spot price, the retailer's margin, and value-added tax. The transmission fee is paid separately to your local grid operator.
Comparing margins alone is not enough. Some providers charge a lower margin but a higher monthly fee, or vice versa. The total cost depends on your consumption. For low-consumption households, a contract without a monthly fee may be the cheapest option, while high-consumption households benefit from a smaller margin.
Spot-priced electricity offers the opportunity to save by timing your consumption to cheap hours. A fixed price provides predictability. The choice depends on your risk tolerance and whether you can be flexible with your consumption. Many Finnish households choose spot pricing for heat pumps and electric vehicle charging, as these loads can be easily timed.
Switching your electricity provider in Finland is free and easy. Your new provider handles the switch on your behalf. The process typically takes a few weeks. Your electricity supply is not interrupted during the switch, as your grid operator remains the same.
The cheapest provider varies depending on your consumption profile. Compare the total cost based on margin, monthly fee, and your own consumption.
A fixed-term contract may include an early termination fee. You can leave an open-ended contract without cost with a two-week notice period.
No. Electricity quality and reliability depend on the grid operator, which remains the same. The provider only sells the energy.
The margin is added to every hourly price. For example, a 0.5 c/kWh margin difference means roughly a 25-euro difference per year with an annual consumption of 5,000 kWh.
