Cheapest electricity contract in Helsinki

In search of the cheapest electricity contract for your Helsinki home, you should pay attention to how you live and how much electricity you are using. With Fortum you will find the most suitable option. 

Compact flat in an apartment building

If your home is a compact studio in the centre or in one of the suburbs and you don't have a sauna, your electricity consumption is probably moderate. Most apartment buildings are heated with district heating, so even the harsh Nordic winters will not affect your electricity bill that much.  

If you want to be price-cautious, your choice is spot-priced electricity agreement (Tarkka). You can limit your electricity consumption during the high spot prices (usually during the day time and during weekdays) and in that way save in your electricity bill. 

Another good option is to chooce a monthly priced Vakio agreement, in which you pay a fixed monthly sum. This is a simple and stressfree agreement. Choose Vakio S for studio or 1 bedroom apartment without sauna or bathroom floor heating and Vakio M for larger flat electricity consumption.

Electricity distribution in Finland

The electricity distri­b­ution company is always your local provider that sends you its own separate bill. For example, if you are looking for an electricity contract in Helsinki, your electricity distri­b­ution company will automat­i­cally be the distri­b­ution company in Helsinki. Only if your local distri­b­ution company is Caruna (for example in Espoo), will you get one invoice instead of two as Fortum's customer.

Electricity distri­b­ution is paid according to the trans­mission tariffs of the local distri­b­ution company. These companies make sure that electricity is available at all times and possible power cuts are dealt with promptly.
