Question 7

How early should I order an electricity contract?

Accepted Answer

It’s smart to make your new electricity contract in advance.

If you're switching suppliers at your current address, remember that electricity contracts typically have a 14-day notice period. Fixed-term contracts cannot be terminated early unless you're moving. So, check whether your current contract is fixed-term or valid until further notice.
If you're moving and need a new electricity contract, you can usually choose the contract to start in 5 business days at the earliest. But don’t worry if you forgot to make the contract and your moving day is approaching fast — just contact our customer service, and we’ll help get your electricity started sooner if needed.

You can set your new contract to start up to 90 days (3 months) in advance.

Question 8

What is the cheapest electricity contract?

Accepted Answer

The cheapest electricity contract depends on you. The cheapest electricity contract always depends on the customer, the time of year and the electricity market. To find the most affordable option for you, consider the following:

Your electricity habits

You might save money with an spot electricity contract or a consumption-based Hehku Jousto contract – especially if you're able to time your usage to cheaper hours. Electricity prices tend to be higher during weekday afternoons and lower in the evenings and at night.
Prices also vary by season and are usually higher in winter. Does your electricity use change throughout the year?

Your electricity consumption

Do you live in a small apartment or a larger house? The less electricity you use, the less you'll be affected by fluctuations in hourly market prices.
If you live in a house, especially with electric heating, it's worth thinking about whether you can shift your usage to cheaper hours if you choose a spot electricity contract.

Your personal preference

Do you prefer a stable, fixed price for a set period, or is getting the lowest possible price your main goal? If you're happy to track electricity prices and use electricity during the cheapest hours, you can save money on your bill with a spot contract. A fixed-price contract, on the other hand, is easy to predict and stress-free.
