sähkötoimittajaa

A sähkötoimittaja is a Finnish term that translates to "electricity supplier" or "energy provider." It refers to the company responsible for delivering electricity to consumers in Finland. These companies manage the electricity grid and ensure a continuous and reliable supply of power. In Finland, the electricity market is liberalized, meaning consumers have the freedom to choose their electricity supplier from a variety of companies. This allows for competition, which can lead to more competitive pricing and a wider range of service offerings. Consumers can typically compare different sähkötoimittaja offerings based on factors such as price per kilowatt-hour, contract duration, and whether the electricity is sourced from renewable or non-renewable energy sources. The sähkötoimittaja is also responsible for billing the consumer for their electricity usage. While the supplier handles the sale and delivery of electricity, the physical infrastructure, such as power lines and substations, is often managed by a separate distribution network operator (verkkopalveluyhtiö).
