sähkönmyyjiä

Sähkönmyyjä refers to an electricity retailer or seller in Finland. These companies are responsible for selling electricity to end consumers, including households and businesses. In the Finnish electricity market, the physical transmission of electricity is handled by separate grid companies, while sähkönmyyjät focus on the sale of electricity as a commodity. Consumers have the freedom to choose their electricity supplier, and competition among sähkönmyyjät aims to offer competitive pricing and various contract options.

These retailers purchase electricity from wholesale markets, often with different pricing structures such as fixed-rate contracts, variable-rate contracts, or those tied to stock exchange prices. Some sähkönmyyjät also offer electricity generated from renewable sources, such as wind or solar power, allowing consumers to make choices based on environmental considerations. The role of a sähkönmyyjä is to manage customer contracts, billing, and the procurement of electricity to meet their customers' demand. Consumers typically have a contract with a sähkönmyyjä for their electricity supply, distinct from the contract with the local grid operator for the use of the electricity network.
