sähkönmyyntisopimukset

Sähkönmyyntisopimukset are contracts for the purchase of electricity in Finland. These agreements define the terms under which a consumer buys electricity from an electricity supplier. Key elements of a sähkönmyyntisopimus include the price of electricity, the contract duration, and the invoicing method.

There are several types of electricity contracts available. Fixed-price contracts offer price certainty for a specified period, protecting consumers from potential price fluctuations in the electricity market. Variable-price contracts, on the other hand, have prices that change according to market conditions, which can be beneficial during periods of low electricity prices. Time-of-use contracts, also known as spot price contracts, link the electricity price directly to the hourly price on the Nord Pool electricity exchange. These contracts require careful monitoring of consumption patterns to optimize costs.

When choosing a sähkönmyyntisopimus, consumers should consider their electricity consumption habits, their willingness to accept price risks, and the contract's duration. It is advisable to compare offers from different electricity suppliers to find the most suitable and cost-effective option. The Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority provides guidance and information on electricity contracts to help consumers make informed decisions. Termination clauses and other contractual conditions should also be carefully reviewed before signing.
