Current and historical promotions
This is a thread for reporting details of promotions in the Finnair+ program.
The purpose of the wiki is to keep a repository of current and historical promotions. This works best if all details are given in a post of the thread. Once such a post is made, edit the wiki and add a short description of promo in headline-style, with a link to the post that holds the detailed information. (You can create such a link by right-clicking the post-number and copy link location).
Do not link to the promo itself from the Wiki, as the promo page is likely to disappear once the promo ended and such link will die, leaving the wiki sans historical info.
2018 and earlier promotions can be found here.

This actually doesn't look bad to me. Compared to Helen, whose price is EUR 3.93 per month + market price + margin of EUR 0.0024 / kWh, while Fortum's price is EUR 4.5 & EUR 0.003. You'll need to choose the solar power surcharge for EUR 5.9 / month but it looks like this extra option can be dropped at any time despite the 2-year contract. For example with my consumption of approximately 1000 kWh/year the extra price to be paid for the 6000 points wouldn't be high.

Sold! Thanks deissi ! I always had thought the spot-rate contracts were the smartest ones but you're right. And I didn't bother to start shopping for other providers, I'm happy with Helen. And it indeed seems that especially with a low energy usage the monthly fixed charge becomes a rather big part of the invoice.

Based on my experience Helen usually calls and makes similar offer like telcos if you change provider.
