The fixed price is the cheapest contract on sale now, Määräaikainen Perussähkö 24 kk (10.78 c/kWh).

What about an expensive winter?
If every month cost as much as the priciest month of the last year, energy alone would be 344 € a year instead of the current 138 €. The spot risk is therefore about 207 € a year in the worst case, and shifting consumption to cheap hours reduces it.
