Let's get electricity costs under control
The right electricity package and economical consumption
When choosing an electricity package, it is good to know the amount of energy you consume and to be based on your current consumption habits, for example, whether most of the energy is consumed at night or during the day. In addition to traditional fixed and exchange price packages, we offer a universal electricity service to domestic customers from 01.10.2022.
A properly chosen electricity package helps to reduce energy costs, but reviewing and changing your consumption habits often provides more significant savings. Read tips for energy saving HERE.
FIXED PACKAGE
- Contract period: 12, 24 or 36 months
- Price: from 14,82 cents/kWh
In the case of a fixed package, the price of electricity is the same throughout the whole contract period, the fluctuations of the exchange price do not affect your invoice, and costs are easier to plan.
We offer one-tariff and two-tariff options:
One tariff
- The one-tariff rate option applies the price agreed upon in the contract for every hour in the 24-hour period.
- This package is better suited if most of the electricity is consumed during the day.
Two-tariff
The two-tariff rate option calculates day and night electricity consumption separately.
- The two-tariff price can be chosen if there is a dual-tariff meter, which measures day and night consumption separately, or an hourly meter at the place of consumption.
- The daily rate is valid from Monday to Friday from 7 am to 10 pm (except public holidays).
- The nightly rate is valid from Monday to Friday from 10 pm to 7 am and on all Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays throughout the day.
EXCHANGE PACKAGE
- Contract period: termless
- Price: Stock excange price + 0,684 cents/kWh
- The exchange price depends on the price of the Nord Pool (NP) stock exchange, which changes on an hourly basis.
- The stock price is supplemented by a fixed sales margin.
The exchange price is often considered to be more favourable than the fixed price, but more recent experience has shown that the stock exchange price may just as well rise as fall, and therefore one must be ready for both scenarios.

The fixed price electricity package “Fixed” provides a fixed electricity price for a period of 1 to 2 years. Market price fluctuations do not affect the invoices, and the price of kWh of electricity remains the same for each month. You can choose between a two-tariff and a one- tariff option, in both cases the calculation of the price is based on the hours consumed.
Electricity contracts with an exchange price are indefinite. The price per kWh changes according to the hourly rates of the Nord Pool (NP) stock exchange, meaning it is possible to gain from the discounted price periods at the exchange, while also being prepared for a price increase.
Eesti Gaas purchases electricity from Nord Pool and sells it to its customers by adding a small commission, as all market participants.
