Spot price (+margin) contracts became common in Finland at least some years ago. Most energy companies provide them now. The margin is something like 0.30–0.40 cent/kWh.
We buy energy from any Finnish seller with contract separate from transfer of electricity (a natural monopoly).

- zapt02 4y agoThe poster said it's an extra 0.4 cents/kWh, not 0.4 USD/kWh. Our contract in Sweden is NordPool market price + 0,006 USD/kWh. Typical electricity prices in Sweden is anything from 0,001 USD/kWh to 0.5 USD/kWh, it varies widely day by day. This is what enables people to be able to save by using electricity when it's almost free.
