That’s insane!
If I were to sign a new contract right now in Finland I’d pay 8 cents per kWh. Including transfer fees and taxes that comes to less than 15 cents all in.
And prices are extremely high right now over here. Normally you’d pay under 10 cents all in.
- suction 5y agoDo you know if in Finland, those prices are subsidised in any way?
- ftth_finland 5y agoNo, these are market prices. We have no subsidized power in Finland.
- native_samples 5y agoNote that Hetzner has a datacenter in Finland! Feeling lucky right now that I picked Helsinki DC for my own server.
- entropie 5y agoElectricity was always quite expensive in germany. Right now for new contracts some pay like 80c/kwh.
- throwaway2037 5y agoThis is good information. Thank you to share. Do you think Finnish electricity prices are so much cheaper because of ample nuclear power?
- ftth_finland 5y agoNuclear power is only 16% of generation capacity. Hydro is larger at 18%. Next up are biofuels 15%, wind 14% and natural gas at 10%. Our newest nuclear power plant won’t be in production until summer, but once that comes online the nuclear share will go up. Imports are mainly Russian nuclear and Scandinavian hydro. Hydro and nuclear definitely help, as well as the low dependency on fossil fuels.
