Cheapest contracts for different consumption profiles
Low-usage household (apartment, 1,500–3,000 kWh/yr)
Monthly fee dominates. The cheapest 6-month fixed contracts (Hehku Kiinteä 6 kk €2.50/mo fee) or spot with a long fee-free intro (Cheap Pörssisähkö 6 months free) are great choices.
Medium usage (row/semi-detached, 4,000–8,000 kWh/yr)
Balance between energy fee and monthly fee. Spot (lowest margin) or a 24-month fixed (Cheap Määräaikainen 24 kk 8.49 c/kWh) are usually the best. Try different options in the Verrokit comparison.
Heavy user (electrically heated detached house, 15,000–22,000 kWh/yr)
Energy fee (c/kWh) matters most. The lowest spot margin (Luotsi Pörssisähkö 0.34 c/kWh) or a long fixed-term (Cheap Määräaikainen 36 kk) deliver the biggest savings. If you want predictability and protection from price spikes, fixed is the safer pick.
