12-month fixed-term contract
Joustosähkö is a 12-month fixed-term electricity contract that includes a monthly basic charge and a base energy price (c/kWh). Depending on when you use electricity, your final energy price may be lower or higher through consumption-based pricing.
Choose Joustosähkö if you want the price security of a fixed-term contract while still benefiting from the flexibility of spot-priced electricity. We especially recommend this contract for electric car owners who actively monitor their electricity consumption and charge their vehicles overnight or during other low-price periods.
The contract can be signed up to 90 days before the start date
How Joustosähkö pricing works
A Joustosähkö contract consists of three components:
- A fixed base energy price (c/kWh)
- A fixed monthly basic charge (€/month)
- A variable consumption adjustment (+/- c/kWh)
The base energy price and the monthly basic charge remain fixed throughout the contract period. Your final electricity price is the base energy price plus the consumption adjustment.
What is the consumption adjustment?
The consumption adjustment reflects how the timing of your electricity use affects your final electricity price.
It is calculated by comparing the hourly price of the electricity you use with the monthly average spot market price. Depending on when you use electricity, the consumption adjustment can either reduce or increase your final electricity price.
If most of your electricity is used during hours when spot prices are higher than the monthly average, the consumption adjustment will increase your electricity price. On the other hand, if you use more electricity during lower-priced hours, the consumption adjustment will reduce your electricity price.
The consumption adjustment varies from month to month
The consumption adjustment is not a fixed charge. Based on our customers’ consumption patterns, it is typically within a range of approximately ±3 c/kWh, but there is no maximum or minimum limit.
Because the adjustment depends on both your electricity consumption and spot market prices, it changes every month. For example, it may be –4 c/kWh one month and +3 c/kWh the next if your consumption pattern changes.
If you mainly heat your home or charge your electric vehicle during the night or other low-price periods, this contract can help reduce your electricity costs. However, if most of your electricity use takes place during expensive hours—for example, if you regularly use an electric sauna during weekday mornings—another electricity contract may be a better fit for your needs.
The consumption adjustment is always calculated afterwards based on your actual electricity consumption during the billing period.
