Spot price or fixed contract?

Kajaanissa is home to both flats and detached houses. Flat dwellers' electricity consumption is typically 2,000-4,000 kWh, whereas a detached house can consume 5,000-20,000 kWh depending on the heating type. In electrically heated houses, the choice of contract significantly affects the annual costs.

Spot pricing can bring significant savings especially if you use a heat pump or storage electric heating and can time heating to cheaper hours. A fixed contract, in turn, protects against price spikes.

Heating and electricity consumption

Kajaanissa on sekä kerrostalo- että omakotitaloasutusta — omakotitaloissa sähkölämmitys tai maalämpö vaikuttaa merkittävästi sähkölaskuun.
