Monthly Heating Home consists of a fixed basic price and an energy price.

Energy price

The energy price is determined by monthly consumption and energy price. The energy price changes every month, and new prices are updated every year on January 1 and July 1. 

The energy price is based on the amount of heat energy used and its price. The more the property is heated and the more hot water is used, the more heating energy is consumed. The energy price is calculated by multiplying this consumption by the energy price of the current month.

Basic price – consumers

The basic price is based on property's usage power, i.e. how much district heating the property consumes on average per year. The property's usage power is based on the average annual consumption of the previous 36 months. For consumer customers whose usage power is over 50 MWh per year, the usage power is based on the highest daily average power.

The basic price is a monthly charge, and its amount will be reviewed once a year. The review will be made after the heating season, and the updated basic price will come into effect on July 1. 

Monthly Heating Home – frequently asked questions

You can change the question with arrow keys and open and close the answer with space key.

Usage power is the basis for the basic price. For S, M, and L customers of the Monthly Heating Home product, the usage power is based on the average district heating consumption of the previous three years, and for XL customers, the usage power is the highest daily average power consumption during the November-March period of the last three years. You can see your usage power on the forecast report in Oma Helen.

The energy price accounts for an average of 70% of the total cost for consumers, and the basic price accounts for 30%. In larger properties, the proportion of the usage power charge is slightly smaller.

You can influence your usage power by reducing consumption, for example, by taking care of the heating distribution equipment's condition, the correct setting of the equipment's adjustment curve, and heating consumption habits. District heating energy is used for heating premises and warm water.

Your new basic price will come into effect on January 1, 2024, with the product renewal.

If your basic price level will increase due to the renewal, the new basic price will come into effect on July 1, 2026. The new basic price will be based on the usage power annual review in 2026, so you can affect your new basic price level by reducing district heating consumption at that time.

Usage power describes the average power at which the property has consumed district heating. For a small portion of consumer customers whose usage power is over 50 MWh per year, the usage power is based on the highest daily average power. 

The impact of the product renewal on the price of district heating is minor, but the magnitude of the change varies greatly depending on the customer. For most consumer customers, the product renewal means a change of about -25...+25 € (incl. VAT 24%) in monthly total costs for district heating. Therefore, the change on an annual basis is between a €300 increase and a €300 decrease. We will announce the energy prices for 2024 on November 31, 2023. 

Yes, they are different terms for the same thing. The same applies to units - for example, an average annual consumption of 50 MWh/a is the same as an annual average power of 5.7 kW.
