Sähkömarkkinoille

Sähkömarkkinoille refers to the electricity market in Finland. It is a regulated market where electricity is produced, transmitted, distributed, and sold. The Finnish electricity market is characterized by competition among electricity suppliers, which allows consumers to choose their electricity provider based on price, origin, or other factors.

The market is divided into several key components. Electricity generation is carried out by various power companies using different sources such as nuclear, hydropower, wind, and fossil fuels. Transmission and distribution of electricity are handled by network companies, which are typically monopolies in their respective geographical areas. These companies are responsible for maintaining the electricity grid and ensuring a reliable supply of power.

Consumers can purchase electricity from a wide range of suppliers. They have the option to choose between fixed-price contracts, variable-price contracts, or even contracts based on renewable energy sources. The Finnish government, through its regulatory bodies, oversees the electricity market to ensure fair competition, consumer protection, and the security of the energy supply. The transition towards renewable energy sources and increased energy efficiency are significant trends shaping the future of the Finnish electricity market.
