Vattenfall electricity contracts 2026

About Vattenfall — Finnish electricity provider

Vattenfall is an energy company wholly owned by the Swedish state, founded in 1909. It is one of the largest energy companies in the Nordics and operates in Sweden, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Vattenfall emphasises reliability, stability and long-term price certainty. In Finland the company sells both spot electricity and fixed-term hybrid contracts. All Vattenfall electricity is certified renewable (mainly wind and hydro).

Why choose Vattenfall for your electricity contract?

Vattenfall’s Ilmasto Mix range is a popular fixed-price contract that includes certificate-of-origin renewable electricity. This is a rare combination: most fixed-term contracts do not include a certificate of origin at no extra cost. Ilmasto Mix 6 kk has one of the lowest monthly fees on the market.

Who is a Vattenfall electricity contract best for?

Vattenfall suits the consumer who values a large established company and green electricity — and is willing to pay slightly more margin in exchange for the company’s size, support and financial stability. Long-term fixed contracts (12/24 kk Ilmasto Mix) are particularly suited to stability seekers.

How to sign up with Vattenfall step by step

You can sign a contract directly on the Vattenfall website — click the ”Choose” button in the Verrokit comparison to go straight to the order form. You will need your metering point identifier (on your current electricity bill) and your personal ID.

Your old contract ends automatically when the new one takes effect — Vattenfall handles the switch for you within 2–4 weeks. You do not need to notify your old provider or your local grid operator separately.

When to compare Vattenfall electricity contracts

The four most common triggers to reconsider your Vattenfall contract are: (1) your current fixed-term contract is ending — the provider often shifts you to an open-ended contract with a higher energy price; (2) you’re moving — a new address means a fresh comparison since the local grid operator changes; (3) your consumption has changed significantly — for example moving from an apartment to a detached house or installing electric heating; (4) market prices have shifted — a fixed contract signed when spot prices were high may no longer be the best value.

Verrokit’s comparison shows all Vattenfall’s current contracts alongside competitors sorted cheapest first based on your annual consumption. In two minutes you’ll know whether staying with Vattenfall or switching to another provider makes sense.

Vattenfall contract terms, cancellation and switching

Vattenfall — like all Finnish electricity providers — follows the electricity market rules confirmed by the Finnish Energy Authority. Open-ended contracts have a two-week notice period which you can invoke at any time without a fee. Fixed-term contracts run for their full term (typically 6, 12, 24 or 36 months) and early cancellation can incur a fee corresponding to the remaining months.

When your fixed-term contract ends, Vattenfall typically transfers you to an open-ended contract whose energy price is often higher than the market’s cheapest options. This is why it pays to compare before the term ends — Verrokit’s notification system helps you remember.

How to choose the right Vattenfall electricity contract

Take two minutes to check these four points before signing:

• Your annual consumption in kWh — find it on any recent electricity bill or from your grid operator’s online portal. The cheapest contract depends heavily on this number.
• Intro perks and when they end — many contracts show low prices for the first 3–6 months, then rise significantly. Check the normal price after the intro period.
• The type that suits you — spot electricity (variable, cheapest on average), fixed-term (predictable, no surprises) or hybrid (mix of both). Different profiles suit different consumers.
• Environmental values if important — check whether the provider offers 100% renewable electricity and whether guarantees of origin are included in the price or cost extra.
