Getting an electricity contract in Finland is easy, but there are many types of plans. You can save more than 100€/year by shopping for your contract. After this video, you can find the best deal in 10 minutes.
NOTE: Zmarta has discontinued its comparison feature. Instead, I recommend you check Nordic Green Energy. They offer pörssisähkö (spot-price) deals at a reasonable price. Their site is in Finnish but is an easy one-pager with Google Translate.

UPDATE: 2023/05 NOTE: Zmarta has discontinued its comparison feature. Instead, I think you should check Nordic Green Energy. They offer pörssisähkö (spot-price) deals at a reasonable price. Their site is in Finnish but is an easy one-pager with Google Translate. At the moment, the spot price (pörssisähkö) is the best plan as the actual prices have hone down quite a bit. I have a pörssisähkö deal as well. ✅ * Get a deal from Nordic Green Energy: aleksihimself.com/zmarta

@AleksiHimself 2 года назад

Here are a few additional pro tips I forgot to mention in the video: - Spot price (pörssisähkö) prices are published on sahko.tk 24h in advance. You can use the charts to plan out your electricity consumption, like using sauna or washing machine - You will receive two separate bills from two companies. One from the electricity vendor and one from the transmission company. Have a look at the origins of electricity. The price of green electricity can be a little more expensive, but cheaper for nature. - Be aware of the signup bonuses in the contract. The price can rise significantly after the period. - A contract with zero fixed cost (perusmaksu) can become really affordable if you have low energy consumption.

Alex Great Explanation. Are there any Electricity provider to get service without Social Security number(SSN) and Finish Phone number ? .I am also planing to move to Finland as student , But I didn't get SSN with my RP card. Please suggest a solution.

@AleksiHimself Год назад

A quick question: Do you already have a student apartment secured? It sounds so if you tried to use the service but I could be wrong. If you have, then I strongly recommend checking if the electricity is included in the rent because in most cases it is for student apartments. Then, you don't have do get a contract. If you don't have electricity included, then you can call one of the companies and explain that you don't have a Personal Identity Code (aka SSN) yet. They will give you one. You can try Helen or Fortum, for example. You need to go to DDV as soon as you arrive to get your Personal Identity Code. You can't really do much in Finland without it. When you get your PIC, you can come back to this service and get a better contract if necessary.

@kaustubhpatade 2 года назад

Good stuff as always Aleksi! Thank you! Though I really wish this video was out two months earlier when I moved to a private apartment from student housing! It was quite difficult to find the right and reliable information for electricity contracts. I hope this video helps out other people (Just do what the Finntastic says) :P Thanks again! 💯

Alexi, please can u do a video about entry requirements, precisly about the qualifications, experience, needed to teach in Finland. Could u also explain the starting salary for a teacher starting to teach in Finland and the cost for apartments if you move with family. Sorry if this is long. Thank you. 😊

@AleksiHimself 2 года назад

It really depends what you teach and on what level. This may help: www.oph.fi/sites/default/files/documents/working_as_a_teacher_in_finland_with_a_foreign_qualification_1.pdf

@shravankumargatla1769 Год назад

Hi Alexi, looks like stock electricity is good option currently compared to Fixed and open ended contracts. what do you say?

@AleksiHimself Год назад

The stock price has gone down because people have reduced the use of electricity and the increase of wind power. Probably taking a stock price deal for now is good and then keeping an eye how the prices and deals develop.

@vladimirausderslowakei39 Год назад

Hi Aleksi. Do you know why have been exchange electricity spot prices suddenly so low since last Wednesday?

@AleksiHimself Год назад

Yes. It's been super windy and the wind power facilities have produced record-breaking amounts of power which has sharply lowered the prices-

@Anonymous-fd1vu 2 года назад

Does student apartment have electricity included in them or we need to get that by ourselves ? 😦

@AleksiHimself 2 года назад

I think it is included but you need to check. They have it mentioned in the contract at least.

@ash3rr 2 года назад

How many people in Finland go off the Grid? Solar, wind, etc. If you get 24 hour sunlight in summer imagine what you could do with all that energy.

@AleksiHimself 2 года назад

I think some use them as a supplementary method but probably it's not enough on its own. Not sure tho.

@AleksiHimself Год назад

UPDATE: as of September 2022, the current situation is challenging. The prices have gone up drastically due to the Ukraine crisis. No cheap contract types are available, and all of them have risks. The upcoming winter is said to be super expensive for electricity. I personally have opted for pörssisähkö and follow the situation.

@rdom3208 Год назад

Hey Aleksi, I currently don't have a electricity contract and I am looking for one, but everything is so expensive. Do you have any tips? I live in a semi-detached house, Around 100 m² and have 2 kids.

I have recently moved to Tampere for Post Doctoral study. Can you suggest me suitable electric contract for my new apartment. SATO have tie up with fortum so is it good to move with the same ? Basic fees 4.5 euro per month and 31.28 c/kWh. Thanks for your help in advance. Also suggest suitable company for the same. Pin code 33720 and apartment area is 30 m2.

@AleksiHimself Год назад

During these times, it's difficult to find cheap plans because the prices have increased quite a bit. You need to do the comparison yourself and pick the best one. Use the tips mentioned in the video. Welcome to Tampere! I used to study in Hervanta, too.

@tina9953 Год назад

Hi, do you know if you need a Finnish bank account to get an electricity contract? thank you in advance

@AleksiHimself Год назад

No but you need an account later to pay the Bills. You can create a Wise account while waiting for your Finnish bank account. I have a tutorial for that too.

@@dobrovolny2 how do you see the fixed line charges

@LotharOfTheHillPeople 2 года назад

@@dobrovolny2 Here in Atlanta, Georgia there are only fluctuating plans and I am averaging around $0.25/kWh over the past 12 months. In addition, there is a monthly administrative fee of $18. A transfer fee is currently $212. In the USA, you generally are not able to choose a power company, it's based off of whoever is in control of the area you live.

Interesting. In Finland it works the same way but you can choose the vendor (the company you buy the electricity from).

@@LotharOfTheHillPeople You can choose the company that generates the electricity in most States but not who delivers it to the home. Sadly, most people don't know that.

@brentlocher5049 2 года назад

Aleksi, I have an idea for your channel. You are targeting an audience who are not fluent in finnish....you have also had videos in the past where you walk and talk in a live format, you have commented that you like that because it is not hard work and you can get superchats. Here is idea.....take walk in different places and narrate your walk in simple finnish. Maybe add a little english to clarify, but point at things and pick things up and do simple talking in a live format

@AleksiHimself 2 года назад

Thanks Brent I'll keep it in mind!
