Which electricity contract is cheapest?

We calculate the price of every contract with last year’s actual hourly prices and your home’s consumption pattern, not with a single average.

Calculate your price

1 · What kind of home?
kWh / yearEstimate based on home type. You can find your own consumption on your electricity bill.
Your consumption pattern

You use most electricity during expensive hours (17:00–21:00), so spot-price electricity costs you 10 % above the average.

All contracts, cheapest first

Annual price as the average of the first two years, so intro offers don’t distort the ranking. Calculated with actual hourly prices for 1 Nov 2025–31 Oct 2026. Includes energy, margin and monthly fee, but not transmission or electricity tax.

The spot price is calculated with actual past prices and does not predict the future. A fixed price stays the same for the whole contract term.

Spot price for this pattern is the actual spot price weighted by the home type’s hourly consumption, incl. VAT, excluding margin. How we compare

Why hourly prices?

The same spot contract costs different homes a different price

Most comparisons calculate spot-price electricity with a single average. But electricity is most expensive in the morning, in the evening and in winter, exactly when heating and households use the most.

We calculate every hour of the year separately: the hour's actual price times your home's estimated consumption in that hour. The result is closer to your real bill than a calculation with the average price. How we compare

What does the price in the comparison include?

The annual price includes the energy, the seller’s margin and the monthly fee, all with VAT.

Intro offers are evened out by using the average of the first two years.
