That shows in prices. The price list applies from 1 July 2026, and general transfer costs 5.49 c/kWh including VAT. The basic fee is €47.55 a month for a 3 × 25 A house and €84.54 on 3 × 35 A. For a house using 5,000 kilowatt-hours, transfer on Järvi-Suomen Energia’s network costs about €608 a year more than on Caruna Espoo’s, ranking 72 of the calculator’s 72 networks from cheapest. The all-in spot price on general transfer averages 12.10 c/kWh today, a large share of it transfer and tax.

Annual transfer cost

|---|---|---|---|
| Flat, 2,000 kWh | €553 | €1,056 | €1,057 |

When transfer costs this much, a cheap spot hour does not make a kilowatt-hour cheap: even at a zero exchange price the all-in price is transfer plus tax, 8.41 c/kWh. Saving energy and choosing the right transfer product therefore affect the bill more here than timing use by the spot price alone.
What to do in a high-transfer area
First check that your transfer product fits your use; in an electrically heated house seasonal or night transfer can be hundreds of euros cheaper. Also consider whether you need a large main fuse, since the basic fee gap between 3 × 25 A and 3 × 35 A is €36.99 a month. The appliance calculators show what a sauna or other large load costs. Compare with the neighbouring Savon Voima network.
