We have sold green energy since 2015
In 2015, our founder Kalle Nevala heard a radio program about hourly spot electricity and wondered why electricity companies weren’t offering it. He wanted to provide a genuinely affordable option with excellent customer service and leverage his expertise in technology. We sell only carbon-free electricity, produced without blocking important fish migration routes for fishermen like Kalle. From the start, we have focused on offering the most affordable hourly spot-priced product and currently have the highest number of hourly spot electricity customers.
The founders, Kalle and Rene, with their background as Nokia mobile phone engineers, bring authentic development drive to our technological top services. We have Finland’s best Smart Energy app, Älyenergia, in terms of customer satisfaction and features. The Älyenergia app notifies you when savings can be achieved through shifting the time of your electricity consumption, provides all desired notifications, manages your heating and car charging, and shows the production from your solar panels. The app includes everything essential for managing and saving on energy in an easy-to-use package. Our goal is to develop the world’s best energy app.
Last but not least, our customer service operates smoothly and friendly, rated over 4 stars by Google, so you can confidently join our over 40,000 customers.
