Frequently asked questions about electricity for students
How do I get the student discount?
Can I get a student contract with renewable energy?
When you place an order, your electricity is always produced in a carbon dioxide-free manner without fossil fuels. In addition, when making the contract, you can choose either 100% renewable energy or 100% solar energy for a small additional fee.
You can also change the origin of your home's electricity later through the Oma Fortum service or by contacting Fortum customer service.
How long is the agreement valid?
What happens to my contract after one year?
Why am I getting two invoices?
The cost of electricity consists of the electric energy (electricity sales), electricity distribution and the electricity tax. The electricity distributor is always a local network company that transmits the electricity to your home using its network and measures your electricity consumption. According to Finnish legislation, the electricity tax is included in the distribution invoice. Therefore, it is possible that you receive one electricity invoice from Fortum and another from the local network company. The local network charges you for the electricity distribution according to its price list and invoicing periods. When you sign your electricity contract with Fortum, we will notify the distributor company of this. Therefore, you don't need to sign a separate electricity distribution contract. It becomes effective automatically once you enter into the contract with us.
If your local network company is Caruna (for example in Espoo and Joensuu), you will only get one invoice. In this case, Fortum will act as the invoicing company and charge you for the price of your student contract, Caruna's distribution fees, as well as taxes, all in one invoice.

How much does the market-priced electricity cost
The price of spot-priced electricity varies during different seasons and also throughout the day. Generally, when electricity consumption is lower and production is higher, the price of electricity is cheaper. If your consumption is small (e.g., in a studio apartment), the price fluctuations of exchange electricity do not have a significant impact on your bill.

Electricity distribution in Finland
Unlike the electricity energy company that you can freely choose, the electricity distribution company is always your local provider that sends you its own separate bill. For example, if you are looking for an electricity contract in Helsinki, your electricity distribution company will automatically be the distribution company in Helsinki. Only if your local distribution company is Caruna (for example in Espoo), will you get one invoice instead of two as Fortum's customer.
Electricity distribution is paid according to the transmission tariffs of the local distribution company. These companies make sure that electricity is available at all times and possible power cuts are dealt with promptly.
Electricity contract in Helsinki
If you are moving to Helsinki or already live there, you can freely choose any electricity company. However, the electricity that Fortum sells to it's clients is produced always carbondioxide free, which helps to fight against climate change. Fortum is also a reliable company, that encourages it's clients to consume electricity in a sustainable way.
Most people in Helsinki live in apartment buildings with district heating and hot water. This means that electricity bill will be moderate. However, you can save money and the envieronment with smart choices.
