Prices are the settled day-ahead prices of the Nordic power exchange for the Finnish bidding zone (FI).
An average is the time-weighted mean of every price in the period, so each 15-minute period counts equally. The figures include VAT at the rate in force on each day: 25.5% from 1 September 2024, 24% before that, and a temporary 10% between 1 December 2022 and 30 April 2023. An average here is not the same as the average on your bill, because it excludes the supplier's margin, the transfer fee and electricity tax, and it takes no account of when you personally use electricity.
The average is the time-weighted mean of the spot price over a chosen period. It tells you what electricity has cost on average over, say, the last week, the last month or the last year. It is a useful comparison figure when weighing a spot-price contract against a fixed-price one.
Spot-priced electricity is on average cheapest at night and in the early hours, when demand is lowest. The most expensive hours usually fall in the morning and early evening peaks. The hourly curve on this page shows the measured average over the last 30 days, so it is based on data rather than a rule of thumb. For any single day, check the cheapest hours on the front page.
The average here is the exchange price including VAT and nothing else. Your bill adds the supplier's margin and monthly fee, the network company's transfer fee and electricity tax. Your own average also depends on when you use electricity: consumption weighted towards expensive hours costs more than the period average, and shifting it into cheap hours costs less.
Prices are shown including VAT at the rate that applied on each day. VAT on electricity has been 25.5% since 1 September 2024, 24% before that, and was temporarily cut to 10% between 1 December 2022 and 30 April 2023. A long-run average is therefore calculated with per-day rates, so historical figures match what consumers actually paid at the time.
