There’s literally no difference in the quality of the product, it’s electricity. Find the cheapest (and longest) contract you can get and go go go.
Do not believe that there’s no difference in electricity. You can choose for example renewable energy or hydro energy. You can also choose to have fluctuating market prices ie pörssisähkö. If you can use energy mostly during the cheap- even free – hours you can save a lot but you need to be willing to follow or program your use according to the hourly prices. Finland in general is quite self sufficient and electricity is one of the very cheapest in Europe. There are many price comparison Web sites at least in Finnish. If you contract a fixed price make sure it’s below 10 cents per kWh. The prices vary but are around 8 cents in the cheapest contracts, a bit less even. You can have a fixed term or open term.
I don’t go for the absolut cheapest ones as they are more likely shady. I tend choose companies that also produce elecricity as they are more stable.
What kind of place are you moving into? A small flat? A row house apartment? A house? How is it heated?
A basic apartment (1 bedroom, living room, kitchen) with district heating will consume maybe 1500-2000 kWh/year or less. A row house can be double to that, or even more if it’s heated with electricity and if you heat water with electricity. A house will consume 10000 kWh/year or more.
Assuming it’s a flat, the biggest difference is in the monthly fee. 2e/month + 0,10e/kWh is cheaper than 4e/month + 0,08e/kWh, roughly speaking. This is because you consume so little that the monthly fee is often relatively big part of the bill. The whole bill shouldn’t cost you more than 10e/month.
If it’s something else, you need to count accordingly.
When you compare prices, pay attention to „shady“ deals which will change in price every 30 days, after 2-3 months or something similar. Some offer 0e/month monthly fee but it jumps to 6e/month after the first month and so on…
You can make a 12 month or 24 month contract even if you think you may move out before the end of the contract. When you move, fixed term contracts will end without any responsibilities.
You can also try to find good 6 month deals and then find another after that.
