Electricity contracts
How to choose the right electricity contract for my housing company?

You should select the electricity contract based on how much electricity your housing company consumes annually. If the consumption exceeds 100 MWh, we will provide your housing company with a customized offer based on your consumption. 

If you consume less than that, you should think whether a fixed-term or indefinite-term contract suits your housing company best and whether you would like to have a fixed-price contract or an exchange electricity contract in which the price follows the market price.  

You can read a comprehensive comparison of all the different electricity contracts here and try the contract assistant tool that helps you find the electricity contract best suited for your housing company. 

Small and medium-sized housing companies / Consumption less than 100 MWh

Open weekdays from 10 am to 6 pm

Large housing companies / Consumption more than 100 MWh

Open weekdays from 8 am to 4 pm

Billing and payments 
What are the available payment methods? 

We recommend e-invoicing to all our customers. 

We deliver invoices electronically to your online bank as an e-invoice, to your email and to the Kivra or OmaPosti services. Kivra and OmaPosti are electronic mailboxes where you can also easily pay the bill.

For corporate or housing company customers, we recommend e-invoicing

If electronic billing is not a suitable payment method, your housing company can also be billed with paper bills.

Why did our housing company get a bill from you even though we have changed our electricity vendor? 

If your housing company is located in the distribution area of Vaasan Sähköverkko, you will receive bills from us even if you change your electricity vendor. Regardless of the electricity supplier, the local distribution company will continue to be in charge of the distribution of electricity and the related billing. Electricity distribution cannot be competitively tendered. 

How do I change the due date for an invoice? 

You can easily postpone the due date of your invoice in our Online service. If the due date can be changed, this is shown next to the unpaid bill. 

You can change the due date of an invoice if you do so before the due date, you have no other outstanding bills due and you have not changed the due date of that bill before. 

If your company has chosen to receive bills as online invoices, make sure to also change the due date in your online banking service.

How can I change the method of measuring my housing company’s electricity consumption?  

It is advisable to change the transmission product if the electricity consumption in your housing company changes significantly or if the current product is no longer the cheapest. This can happen for various reasons, for instance if your electricity consumption decreases or most of your consumption is shifted to another time. 

It’s a good idea to check the policies of the local distribution network company on their website. As a customer of Vasaan Sähköverkko, housing companies can change their electricity transmission product once a year free of charge. Please inform us of the change on the Vaasan Sähköverkko website. 

How often can I change my electricity transmission product? 

It’s a good idea to check the policies of the local distribution network company on their website. As a customer of Vaasan Sähköverkko, a housing company can change the electricity transmission product once a year free of charge. 

Please read Vaasan Sähköverkko’s guidelines on the matter

My housing company is about to buy solar panels—how can we get the panels connected to the electricity network? 

The first thing to check is whether the solar panel system can be connected to the electricity network.  

If the property is already connected to the electricity distribution network, the solar panel system is usually automatically connected. Please see the website of your housing company’s electricity network company to find out how to connect your own energy production to the electricity network.
