Electricity market Finland

It is a good idea to adapt your electricity usage according the electricity market price. This saves environment and your money.

This application tells the electricity market price in Finland. The price is the average of the current day. After 2 pm Finnish time the price is for the next day.

The price is divided to the components. E.g. the situation 24.12.2013:

Market price: 3.73 c/kWh
+ VAT: 0,89 c/kWh
+ seller commission: 0.25 c/kWh (Vattenfall)
Total electricity price: 4.87 c/kWh
+ transmission price: 2.93 c/kWh (Fortum S)
+ electricity tax: 2.11 c/kWh
Total transmission: 5.04 c/kWh
Total consumer price: 9.91 c/kWh

The program has built seller commissions for the following companies that sell market priced electricity to consumers in Finland: Helen, Vattenfall, Fortum, Turku, Polar, Kymenlaakso, Oulu, Savon Voima, SSS and Kraft.

There are three possible transmission providers available: Fortum S, Fortum E and Helen. There are tens of others but these three are representative of (relatively cheap) transmission providers.
