How quickly your electricity can be connected depends on your local power grid company, which will make the actual connection. Your local power grid company may charge a fee for urgent work of this kind, usually between 50 and 150 euros. Sometimes, however, such quick service is not possible, because it also depends on the opening hours of the local power grid company.
If your home has electricity but the contract is not under your name, no quick connection fee will be payable. However, call our customer service regardless of this.

I’m in a hurry – should I choose spot electricity or a fixed-rate contract?
The choice between spot electricity and a fixed electricity contract depends on what you value most.
A fixed-rate contract offers certainty and predictability, as the price remains the same throughout the contract period. This is a good option if you want your electricity price to stay steady with no surprises.
Exchange Electricity, on the other hand, follows the electricity exchange’s 15-minute prices, allowing you to take advantage of cheaper moments. This can be a good choice if you want to save by monitoring prices and shifting your consumption to more affordable times.
You can learn more about different types of electricity contracts on our electricity contract page.
The price of electricity – an indefinite duration or fixed-term contract?
You should look out for different options for electricity contracts to find what’s best for you. One of the key criteria is price.
If you want to make sure the price stays the same for the entire duration of the contract, choose a fixed-term option. It’s an easy option, as you won’t have to think about electricity for a long time. If you move house within that time, you can terminate the contract before the contract runs out.
The other option is to choose an electricity contract that is valid until further notice. It enables you to change your contract whenever you want. With this option, however, the price of your electricity may vary. At Vaasan Sähkö, the prices of Basic Electricity and Wind Power reviewed four times a year, with new prices announced a month before they take effect. The price of Exchange Electricity varies by the hours, which enables active electricity users to save money.
Electricity price components
Electricity prices vary from one provider and deal to the next, and they are greatly affected by market prices. There may be differences not only in the energy charge (c/kWh) but also the basic charges (€/month). The energy charge is based on amount of consumption, whereas the basic charge is a fixed monthly payment to the electricity provider.
If you come across an offer that appears to be really cheap, you should read the terms and conditions really carefully. Sometimes it is cheap only for a short period, with the price soon rising sharply.
Vaasan Sähkö prices are lower than the average. We also offer fixed-price electricity contracts.
Keep in mind that the total amount of your electricity bill is not entirely made up of the electricity (it consists of both the energy price and the basic charge). You will also pay taxes and your local electricity transmission company for the transmission. You cannot affect the price of electricity transmission. This is always provided by the local power grid company that owns the regional network.
In other words, the parts in your electricity bill that you can affect, is only one-third of the total.

Questions about electricity contracts when moving
I have a fixed-term electricity contract and I’m moving. What should I do?
A fixed-term electricity contract can be terminated before the end of the contract period if you are moving. This means you won’t end up with two overlapping contracts. Inform us about your move and make a new electricity contract for your new home.
Do I need to terminate my previous electricity contract when I change contracts?
If you wish, we can handle the termination of your old electricity contract for you, saving you the trouble. However, remember that your old contract does not end automatically, as it is possible to have more than one electricity contract at the same time.
Can I order electricity from Vaasa even if I live in Southern Finland?
You can order electricity from anywhere in Finland. For example, Vaasan Sähkö has customers in almost every municipality in Finland. The distance between the electricity customer and the seller does not affect the price of electricity.
Which is cheaper – a fixed-term or an open-ended electricity contract?
With a fixed-term contract, the price of electricity is locked in at the time the contract is made. The price stays the same throughout the contract period.
With an open-ended electricity contract, the price of electricity can either rise or fall. At Vaasan Sähkö, changes are made as rarely and moderately as possible.
Usually, fixed-term and open-ended electricity contracts end up costing about the same in the long run.
How do I get an electronic electricity bill?
