A price jump is expected for stock exchange electricity

The average hourly price of exchange electricity for consumers (incl. VAT 25.5 percent) will rise to an exceptionally high level on Tuesday. The highest hourly price of the day is 33.8 cents per kilowatt hour at 5 p.m.

The hourly prices stated in the article are averages calculated from the four quarter-hour prices for each hour. The electricity exchange Nord Pool switched to 15-minute pricing from the beginning of October 2025.

Such a price level of more than 30 cents is very rare, as similar prices only occur about two percent of the time. The price is several times compared to the typical hourly price of about four cents. On Tuesday, another price spike will be seen at 9 o’clock in the morning, when the price will be 32.9 cents per kilowatt hour.

Also on Monday, the price of electricity is at a high level. The price rises in the evening at 6 pm to a rare 25.9 cents per kilowatt hour. Otherwise, on Monday, prices will mostly be between 10 and 20 cents.

The price record in the Finnish electricity market was probably set on January 5, 2024, when electricity cost a maximum of 235 cents per kilowatt hour and the daily average price was over 100 cents per kilowatt hour.
