energianmyyjien

Energianmyyjät are retail electricity sellers operating in Finland's competitive electricity market. They purchase electricity on the wholesale market and sell it to households and businesses under consumer contracts. The actual delivery of electricity is performed by distribution and transmission network operators, while energianmyyjät handle supply contracts, invoicing, and customer service. Consumers can choose among several energianmyyjät and switch between them to influence price and service terms.

Switching between energianmyyjät is designed to be straightforward and relatively fast. The network operator remains responsible for meter reading, grid maintenance, and ensuring a reliable supply. When a customer switches, the new contract generally begins on a defined switch date, and old terms end according to the existing agreement. The seller is typically responsible for billing energy consumption, while the network operator handles grid charges and metering data; invoices may combine these items and any applicable taxes and levies as required by law.

Energianmyyjät offer various contract types, including fixed-price contracts for a set period, variable or index-based contracts linked to wholesale prices, and green-energy options. Some providers offer tools for price comparison, energy content information, and budgeting features. Households and businesses can request information about contract terms, energy sources, and the environmental attributes of the electricity they purchase.

The Finnish energy market is regulated to protect consumers. The energy regulator Energiavirasto and the broader framework under the Electricity Market Act require clear terms, transparent pricing, accessible customer service, and procedures for switching, meter data handling, and complaint resolution.
