In a single-family house with electric heating, the final amount of the bill rises quite noticeably.
The sales company Oomi, partly owned by Lahti Energia, is raising prices. The company has informed customers that the prices of contracts sold under the name Oomi Kesto, which are valid for the time being, will increase from the beginning of October.
The company states that the price must be increased for compelling reasons, including the end of Russian gas imports and the uncertainty of electricity supply.
Oomi estimates in a customer letter that, for example, in an apartment building where around 2,000 kilowatt hours are consumed per year, the electricity bill will increase by around 37 euros per month. In a detached house with electric heating, which consumes 18,000 kilowatt hours per year, the effect of the increase on the electricity bill is on average 339 euros per month.
If the customer does not accept the price change, he has the right to terminate the electricity contract with a two-week notice period, according to the terms of the contract, Oomi states in its press release.
Lahti Energia’s electricity sales were transferred to Oomi Energia in the spring of 2020. Oomi is owned by several electricity companies.
