On Wednesday, Finland will experience a notable drop in the spot electricity price, primarily driven by an expected increase in wind power production. The average price including VAT for Wednesday is anticipated to be 10.97 cents per kilowatt-hour, a sharp decrease from the previous day's average of 15.98 cents per kilowatt-hour. The most expensive hours will occur between 7:15 AM and 9:15 AM, with an average price of 18.66 cents, while the cheapest time begins at 8:15 PM when the average price falls to 3.16 cents.

As the day progresses, the price of electricity is expected to decline steeply after 3 PM, coinciding with predictions for rising wind power production. Fingrid's forecasts indicate that wind output will significantly surge, potentially reaching over 6,000 megawatts by the end of the day. This is a noteworthy figure considering Finland's total wind power capacity currently stands at 9,300 megawatts, illustrating the growing reliance on renewable energy sources.

In the context of the ongoing fluctuations in energy prices, February has thus far averaged 18.71 cents per kilowatt-hour, with January seeing an average of 14.72 cents. This gradual reduction in prices reflects wider trends in the energy market, influenced by wind conditions, renewable energy production capacity, and consumer electricity demand, indicating a push towards more sustainable energy solutions in Finland.
