None, as far as I know. Because of current regulations power transfer and production are done by different companies. You might get just one bill if you buy the electricity from the local conglomerate. Transfer of electricity is local monopoly and if you want to buy both the goods and the service from same company, you need to move: Caruna does only the transfer part.

The unit prices are in the invoices. Compare them and you have your answer. There is a lot of variance in the transfer prices so it all depends where you lived before. Caruna Espoo prices seem to be pretty average.

Unless you post the invoices it's not really easy to comment.

Got my first electric bill since I moved to new apartment in July 2016.
Contract with Helsingin Energia. The transfer is done by caruna.

Billing is every 3 months.

Helsingin Energia electric bill: 16,67€
Caruna transfer charges: 34,38€. Here, the higher charges than energy itself is due to Caruna's "preusmaksu" (4,43€/month).

It's all done legally. The blame lies with the people who decided it was a good idea to sell an infrastructure monopoly to investors (the same with Digita back in the day).

Those people should be found and tickled for decades 16 hours everyday.
