Spot price is the same market price for everyone. Differences usually come from provider margin, base fee, and contract terms.

Vattenfall's spot-based contracts follow the Nordic day-ahead market price, where the price is set separately for each hour of the next day.
Vattenfall is one of the largest energy companies in the Nordics, headquartered in Stockholm and fully owned by the Swedish state. This public ownership brings stability and a long-term perspective to its operations. In Finland, Vattenfall offers both spot-priced and fixed-price electricity contracts for households and businesses alike.
As one of Europe’s biggest producers of fossil-free energy, Vattenfall’s generation portfolio spans hydropower, wind, nuclear, and solar. For Finnish consumers, this translates into competitive pricing backed by a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
Under a Vattenfall spot contract, the price is based on the Nord Pool day-ahead market’s hourly rate. On top of this comes Vattenfall’s own margin plus 25.5% VAT. Grid transfer fees are billed separately by your local network operator.
As a major electricity producer, Vattenfall can offer competitive margins. Its own generation relies heavily on hydropower, wind, nuclear, and solar, which helps keep production costs more stable than providers who purchase all their electricity on the open market. The hourly price fluctuates throughout the day based on supply and demand.
Vattenfall has pledged to achieve fossil-free energy production within one generation. This ambitious goal steers the company’s investments firmly toward renewables and nuclear power. In the Nordic region, Vattenfall’s output is especially concentrated in hydropower and wind energy.
For environmentally conscious consumers, Vattenfall’s fossil-free production profile is a significant factor. When the source of electricity is predominantly emission-free, consumers can trust that their energy use does not increase their carbon footprint the way fossil-fuel-dependent producers would.
Vattenfall operates in both Finland and Sweden, and in both countries spot electricity pricing follows the Nord Pool market. However, contract terms, margins, and monthly fees may differ between the two markets. Finnish customers benefit from Vattenfall’s decades of experience in the Nordic electricity sector.
In Sweden, Vattenfall is a well-known domestic brand with a long history. In Finland, it competes with local providers such as Fortum and Helen, but stands out through its Nordic scale and fossil-free production commitment.
