Frequently asked questions
Where do the prices come from?
Spot prices are Nord Pool day-ahead prices for the Finnish bidding zone, fetched from public APIs (for example api.spot-hinta.fi). Electricity production and consumption data comes from Fingrid.
When are tomorrow's prices available?
Tomorrow's spot prices are usually published in the afternoon, around 2–3 pm Finnish time. The app shows them as soon as they are available.
Why does the forecast differ from the actual price?
The 7-day price estimate is based on a forecasting model that uses, among other things, wind power forecasts. Weather and market conditions can change quickly, so the forecast is indicative. The actual price replaces the forecast once it is published.
Do prices include VAT?
You can choose in the app settings whether prices are shown with or without VAT. Prices do not include your electricity company's margin, monthly fee, grid transmission or electricity tax.
A widget or Apple Watch is not updating. What should I do?
iOS decides how often widgets refresh. Open the app briefly to refresh data for widgets and the watch. Make sure your Apple Watch is connected to your iPhone and Low Power Mode is off.
Price alerts are not arriving. What should I do?
Check that notifications for SpotVahti are allowed in iOS Settings (Settings > Notifications > SpotVahti) and that alert limits are set in the app.
Do I need an account?
No. SpotVahti works without signing in, and your settings and devices are stored only on your device.
