How the price of Fixed-term Valtti Electricity is formed
The price of the Fixed-term Valtti Electricity contract consists of the fixed electricity price component, usage impact, and a monthly basic fee.
The price of the fixed component is set based on the price on the day your company signs the contract, and it remains the same throughout the entire contract period. Most of the monthly electricity price forms based on this component.
The usage impact decreases or increases the monthly electricity price depending on how your company's hourly electricity usage compares to the monthly average price of exchange electricity. Your company can influence this by optimizing its electricity usage.
If most of your company's electricity usage occurs during the hours of the month when the exchange electricity price is higher than the monthly average, the monthly price of electricity will increase by the amount of the usage impact. If most of your company's electricity usage occurs during the hours of the month when the exchange electricity price is lower than the monthly average, the monthly price of electricity will decrease by the amount of the usage impact.
Fixed-term Valtti Electricity contract also has a fixed monthly basic fee that is not dependent on the amount of your company's electricity consumption. The monthly basic fee remains the same throughout the contract period.
Please note that the calculations provided in this page are examples of usage impact. The actual usage impact may be smaller or larger depending on the timing of your company's consumption and the actual monthly price of the exchange electricity. If the contract begins in the middle of the month, the usage impact for the first month may be higher or lower than usual.
An example of the usage impact
Fixed component 8,0 c/kWh
45% Usage that decreases the price
25% Usage that increases the price
30% Uncertain impact
Example calculations
Example calculations of the usage impact. In the example, the basic component part is 10 c/kWh. Usage impact in the example is either + 2 c/kWh or - 2 c/kWh.
Your company has used electricity during lower-priced periods
Impact of usage: - 2 c/kWh
Energy billing price: 10 - 2 = 8 c/kWh
+ basic charge: €/month
Your company has used electricity during higher-priced periods
Impact of usage: + 2 c/kWh
Energy billing price: 10 + 2 = 12 c/kWh
+ basic charge: €/month
Information about usage impact and steering your electricity consumption
The usage impact is formed when the hourly prices of your company's electricity consumption are compared to the monthly average price of exchange electricity. The usage impact either increases or decreases the monthly electricity price depending on how your company schedules its hourly electricity consumption compared to the monthly average price of exchange electricity.
If your company uses electricity the most when the exchange electricity price is higher than the monthly average, the usage impact will increase the monthly electricity price. Conversely, if your company uses electricity the most when the spot electricity price is lower than the monthly average, the usage impact will decrease the monthly electricity price.
The usage impact is determined by month, and its amount resolute by the actual electricity consumption at the usage location.
Monthly average price for exchange electricity (c/kWh)
Lower price (c/kWh): Usage that decreases the price
Higher price (c/kWh): Usage that increases the price
Uncertain impact (c/kWh): No major impact on the price
The usage impact means comparing the hourly prices of your company's consumption to the monthly average price of electricity in the power exchange.
The calculation formula used is (A-B) / E = c/kWh, which gives the usage impact for the month in question.
A = Your company's hourly electricity usage (kWh) is multiplied by the hourly price of exchange electricity (c/kWh), after which the products of all hours are added up. As the electricity consumption of different hours and the hourly price of exchange electricity vary to a great extent, the impact of every hour will be taken into account with this calculation formula.
B = Your company's electricity usage over the whole month (kWh) is multiplied by the monthly average price of exchange electricity (c/kWh). This gives the value for your company's electricity usage if it complies with the monthly average price of exchange electricity.
E = Your company's electricity usage over the whole month (kWh)
When figure B is deducted from figure A, you will get the view of how your company has consumed electricity in relation to the monthly average price in the power exchange. The figure obtained is divided by the electricity usage of the whole month, which gives you the usage impact for the past month (+/- c/kWh).
The final figure is either negative, in which case the amount of your company's electricity bill will be decreased, or positive, in which case it will increase the amount of your company's electricity bill. The more your company is able to shift usage to the lower-priced hours of the month, the greater the saving your company will make in view of the monthly average.
Please note, that in this electricity contract the invoiced price of electric energy cannot be negative.
Check your company's current consumption data from Yritys Helen and review your company's hourly consumption habits. Accurate consumption data helps in making sensible energy efficiency measures, and even small actions can significantly reduce energy consumption.
In the future, schedule energy-intensive activities for the hours when exchange electricity is as cheap as possible.
