KSS Verkko: transfer fee and spot electricity in Kouvola and Iitti

According to the price list, the day period is 07:00–22:00 and the night period 22:00–07:00, and the switch to summer time is not applied. The periods are tied to standard time. Once the clocks go forward in spring, the day period runs 08:00–23:00 local time and the 1.49 c/kWh night rate starts only at 23:00. In summer, move a car-charging or water-heater timer an hour later.

Both have the same basic fee, €31.70 on 3 × 25 A and €49.90 on 3 × 35 A a month, and the same lowest rate of 1.49 c/kWh. The difference is the expensive period: day-time transfer costs 3.32 c/kWh all year, the seasonal winter weekday 4.97 c/kWh only from November to March. By our calculation time-of-day transfer beats general transfer from about 15,100 and seasonal from about 12,900 kilowatt-hours of winter-heavy use.

Under the price list a product change is allowed after 12 months of continuous use. If you move from general to time-of-day or seasonal transfer, the new product therefore stays for at least a year, covering one heating season and one summer. That is why the choice is best judged on a full year’s consumption rather than one expensive winter month. The annual cost table on this page compares the products for three typical users.

No. KSS Verkko’s household network fees consist only of a transfer fee and a fuse-based basic fee across three products. The company’s site lists power-based metering among its methods, but it is not part of this price list. Lowering your peak therefore does not cut the bill, while on time-of-day or seasonal transfer shifting use to the cheaper period does. Electricity tax and the security-of-supply fee, 2.9179 c/kWh together, come on top.
