Energiakauppa

Energiakauppa is a Finnish term meaning energy shop and is used to describe businesses or services that procure and supply energy to residential and business customers in Finland. The name is employed by multiple companies as a brand or product line, rather than representing a single corporate entity. In practice, Energiakauppa offerings typically include electricity and gas tariffs, online account management, billing, and tools for price comparison.

In the Finnish energy market, consumers have been free to switch suppliers since the liberalization that began in the 1990s, and Energiakauppa players operate within this framework. Services may also cover smart metering, energy efficiency advice, and options for renewable or green electricity, depending on the supplier. The sector is regulated by the Energy Authority (Energiavirasto) and the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (Kilpailu- ja kuluttajavirasto), with consumer protection and price transparency emphasized.

Because Energiakauppa is a generic term used by several providers, there is no single standard contract; terms, pricing structures, contract lengths, and switching procedures vary by company. Consumers evaluating Energiakauppa options typically consider price competitiveness, the share of renewable energy, customer service quality, and digital tools for monitoring consumption.
