Electricity Transfer Fees: A Wide Variation in Prices Across Different Companies

The Home association, a small house residents’ interest organization, has conducted a survey on electricity transmission prices and found that there are nearly tenfold differences in electricity transfer fees between companies. The basic fee for transfer ranges from EUR 4.70 at the cheapest to EUR 40.66 at the most expensive per month, with Järvi-Suomen Energia having the highest basic fee for transfer followed by Kajave and Koorevesi Sähkö. On the other hand, Kerava Energy had the cheapest basic fee, followed by Tampereen Energia Sähköverkola and Haukiputaa Sähkoosuuskunnta.

The survey also highlighted that spending habits and living situations determine whether the emphasis on the electricity bill is on the basic transfer fee or the energy fee. Almost half of the companies surveyed had increased their prices since last year, while two companies lowered the price and 37 kept it unchanged. The Energy Agency confirmed a new supervision model last year to oversee the pricing of electricity transmission companies, which has faced opposition from many companies.

Chairman of the Association of Homeowners, Ari Rehnfors, expressed his desire for more drastic measures to lower electricity transmission prices, stating that the current control model favors monopoly companies. The report sheds light on significant variations in electricity transfer fees among companies and emphasizes the need for fair and transparent pricing policies.
