Prices for the next day are set on the Nordic day-ahead market in the afternoon. Bidding closes at 13.00 and the prices are usually known by about 14.15 Finnish time. This page updates as soon as they are published, so there is nothing to wait for on your side.
If the page says the prices have not been published, it is most likely before 14.15. The prices do not exist until the market has cleared, so no service can show them earlier. Publication can occasionally be delayed, in which case they appear later the same afternoon.
Yes. Prices confirmed on the day-ahead market are binding and do not change afterwards, so tomorrow's figures are as certain as today's. This is not a forecast - it is a market price that has already been settled.
Knowing tomorrow's prices in advance lets you time flexible consumption into the cheap periods: laundry, the dishwasher, the sauna and charging an electric car. The cheapest hours section gives you the unbroken stretches directly, so you do not have to hunt through the table.
On a spot-price contract, the price of electricity follows the Nordic power exchange's day-ahead market. The price changes from one period to the next, so your bill depends on when you use electricity. The full contract price also adds the supplier's margin and monthly fee, the transfer fee and electricity tax.
Prices are set once a day on the day-ahead market: producers and buyers submit their bids, and the price settles where supply meets demand. Since October 2025 the Nordic day-ahead market has used 15-minute periods instead of whole hours.
Prices for the next day are published in the afternoon, usually around 14.15 Finnish time. Publication can be delayed in exceptional situations.
Yes. Every price on this site includes VAT at 25.5%. Note that the exchange price does not include the supplier's margin, the transfer fee or electricity tax.
Yes. When wind generation is plentiful and demand is low, the price can fall below zero. On a contract that follows the exchange, using electricity during such a period can actually pay.
Spot-priced electricity is usually cheapest when demand is low, meaning at night and at weekends. The most expensive periods typically fall in the morning and early evening peaks. The cheapest hours section shows the unbroken cheapest stretches for today and tomorrow, so you do not have to find them in the table.
Since 1 October 2025 the Nordic day-ahead market has priced electricity in 15-minute periods rather than whole hours, so a day now has 96 prices instead of 24. This site shows both: hourly averages by default, and every 15-minute period when you turn on the 15-minute switch.
Spot price and exchange price mean the same thing: the market price formed on the power exchange. It is also called spot electricity, and an hourly or quarter-hourly price depending on the length of the period. The price is usually quoted in cents per kilowatt-hour, written c/kWh or snt/kWh - the same unit.
The figure at the top of the page is the price of the period currently running, including VAT. It updates as each period changes, and the chart shows how the whole day develops. Tomorrow's prices appear as soon as they are published, usually around 14.15.
Spot pricing is typically cheapest for people who can shift consumption into cheaper periods - timing a water heater, underfloor heating or electric car charging makes a large difference. If your consumption cannot flex at all, a fixed price may be the calmer option. The price risk is yours: on a spot contract the price can rise very high for short stretches.
