District heating pricing

Energy fee is determined based on the property's monthly consumption and district heating energy price. The energy price changes every month and new prices are updated every January 1st and July first for one year at a time.

During the update, we will always tell you the confirmed prices for the following six months and give a price prognosis for the next six months. This way, you always have a 12-month visibility of prices.

The more the property is heated and hot water is used, the more thermal energy is consumed. The energy price is calculated by multiplying this consumption by the energy price of the current month.

The average total price of district heating is forecasted to decrease by approximately 3.6 percent in 2026 compared to 2025. In the Oma Helen service, you will find price forecasts as well as consumption and cost forecasts for each usage location for the coming years.

Basic fee from July 1, 2025

The basic fee is a monthly fee paid primarily based on the property's usage power. Usage power, in practice, means how much district heating is consumed on average per year. Usage power is determined based on the average of yearly consumption of the previous 36 months i.e. three years.

Consumer customers with consumption over 50 MWh per year (Customer Group XL), the usage power is determined based on the measured maximum daily average power in 36 months from October 1 to March 31.

The basic fee is reviewed once a year and the changes take effect on July 1.

Customer group Usage power Monthly basic fee (VAT 25.5%)
S 0 – 24,99 MWh/y 73 €/month
M 25 – 34,99 MWh/y 88 €/month
L 35 – 49,99 MWh/y 106 €/month
XL +50 MWh/y 7,65 (€/kW)/month*

*Highest daily average consumption, however at least 106 €/month.

Approximately 30% of the total heat consumption in a single-family house is used to heat domestic hot water. The district heating bill shows the actual energy consumption in which the energy used for water heating is not separated. However, you can estimate the proportion of the payment used for heated hot water as follows:

Multiply the hot water consumption by the general average of 0.4 to estimate the consumption of warm hot water (m³). Multiply this number by the average price of heating water, based on the average of Helen's energy prices which is €4.65/m³ for the year 2025 or €4.40/m³ by the 1 January 2026 price list. The estimated payment includes 25.5% VAT. The estimate does not take the district heating basic price into account.

The impact of warm hot water on the energy fee (incl. 25.5% VAT) = hot water consumption (m³) * 0.4 * €4.40/m³.
