sähkötoimitukseen

Sähkötoimitus refers to the supply of electrical energy to a consumer. In Finland, this process is regulated and involves several key parties. The physical delivery of electricity is managed by a grid operator, also known as a network company, which owns and maintains the power lines and substations. Consumers purchase electricity from a chosen electricity supplier, which is a separate entity from the network company. The supplier buys electricity from the wholesale market or generates it themselves and then sells it to the end-user.

Consumers have the freedom to choose their electricity supplier, and this choice can be based on various factors such as price, origin of electricity (e.g., renewable sources), contract terms, and customer service. Once a consumer selects a supplier, the supplier handles the billing for both the electricity consumed and the network service fees charged by the grid operator. The grid operator is responsible for ensuring the reliable and uninterrupted flow of electricity to the consumer's premises.

If a consumer moves to a new address, they typically need to arrange for sähkötoimitus to the new location and terminate the service at the old one. This involves contacting both a network company and an electricity supplier. The process ensures that electricity can be safely and efficiently delivered to homes and businesses. The regulations surrounding sähkötoimitus aim to provide consumers with choice and ensure fair competition among electricity suppliers.
