Compare electricity contracts by price area

The comparison price is the energy price plus the fixed fee, converted to öre/kWh at a given annual consumption, including VAT. It is the only figure on this site that folds both the energy price and the fee into one number, which is what makes two differently structured contracts — say, different markups and different fixed fees — comparable at all. A supplier that states only a markup, with no fixed fee or energy price, cannot always be converted to a comparison price; such rows show “not stated” rather than a guess.

A fixed price stays the same for the whole term. A variable price (the monthly price on this site) changes every month: according to the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate it is the month's average price, weighted by when the supplier's customers on the same contract use electricity. The reference shown here is the mean of the last seven full days of Nord Pool day-ahead prices for your price area. Quarter-hourly price, like hourly price, follows the exchange price quarter by quarter or hour by hour, so it moves from hour to hour instead of being set in advance.

Sweden is split into four price areas, from SE1 in the north to SE4 in the south. The price area determines the spot price — the price that variable, quarter-hourly and hourly contracts are calculated from — because the grid can only move a limited amount of power between areas. Fixed prices can differ between areas too, if a supplier prices them per area. Pick your price area at the top of the page to see the right prices.

Yes for the comparison price, energy price and SEK/year figures: they include 25 percent VAT. The markup and the spot prices are shown excluding VAT. The grid fee and energy tax are not part of any figure here — those go to your grid operator whichever supplier you choose.

Most prices come from Elpriskollen, the comparison service run by the Swedish Energy Markets Inspectorate (Ei), where suppliers are required to report their contracts. For some suppliers, prices are also collected directly from their own price pages. The “Updated” line under the price tiles at the top of the comparison shows when the site was last updated.

The site rebuilds every time a new data collection run finishes. The time of the latest update is on the “Updated” line under the price tiles at the top of the comparison. Always check with the supplier before signing — the collection can lag behind the supplier's own page.
