Feeling nervous about commitment? Let us explain!

As a student, your life and housing situation can change often. So why do we recommend a fixed-term electricity contract for students? Because having the same electricity price day and night, all year round, brings predictability to your budget. It helps you keep your monthly electricity costs low, so you can focus on student life instead of tracking prices.

Another big plus: our fixed-term electricity contracts are always terminated when you move. Just end your contract when you're changing flats, and choose a new one freely for your next place.

Student moving checklist

  1. Submit a change of address notification: The easiest way is to notify both Posti and the Digital and Population Data Services Agency (DVV) at the same time. If you receive benefits, remember to update your address details with Kela as well.
  2. Arrange your electricity contract: Order a new electricity contract about a week before your move so you won't be left in the dark. Don't forget to cancel your current contract if you have one — even if it's a fixed-term agreement.
  3. Get home insurance: Compare providers if you have the energy, and make sure you purchase home insurance for your new home. It can also protect your belongings during the move.
  4. Set aside enough time for moving: This is not something you can finish the night before! Make time for packing fragile items, hunting down moving boxes, and completing the final cleaning of your old home.
  5. Be considerate of your neighbours: If you're planning a housewarming party, it's a good idea to put a notice on the building's bulletin board to let your neighbours know in advance.

How to make an electricity contract

With these steps, you can easily order a new contract for your home in just a few minutes.

1. Choose the electricity contract that suits you best

Factors that influence your choice include your home’s heating method, how actively you want to monitor electricity prices, and whether you are able to schedule your electricity use.

In addition to your own electricity consumption, it is worth considering whether your household has flexibility for fluctuations in electricity prices, or whether a fixed, predictable price feels like the better option.

2. Fill the order form

Fill out the order form and confirm by using your bank credentials. If for some reason you cannot use the form, contact our customer service, and we’ll create the contract for you.

You can choose ecological electricity for your contract at this point.

3. Done!

You’ll receive an order confirmation by email.

Your electricity contract will start on the date specified in the confirmation message.

We'll terminate your old contract for you. If you're moving, terminate your old home's electricity yourself.

How to choose the right electricity contract as a student

The best electricity contract for a student is one that’s cheap. We’re committed to cheap prices so that everyone in Finland can access electricity at the lowest possible cost. Here are a few tips to help a student choose the right contract:

  • Cheap Fixed-Term: Our top recommendation for students. This contract offers a fixed, low price that makes your monthly bills predictable. Locking in your electricity price is the easiest way to save. And don’t worry if you move, electricity contracts are tied to the address, so you can always end your contract when changing homes.
  • Cheap Spot Electricity: A classic choice, especially for students with low electricity usage. The price is based on hourly market rates, so if you're willing to follow electricity prices, you can optimize your usage to cheaper hours. Just be aware that if you use more electricity during expensive hours, your bill will grow.
  • Cheap Market Price Electricity: A flexible middle ground between fixed-term and spot contracts. This contract starts with a discounted price for the first month, then follows the monthly average of the electricity market price. A solid option if you want flexibility without constant price tracking.
