The autumn season for Auris Energiaratkaisut’s (AER) gas heating service begins on 1 September 2021. New heat energy prices will take effect at the same time. They are listed below and on AER’s website in its news article and price list.
Heat energy sales price, natural gas, September–December 2021: EUR 91.19/MWh + VAT.
Heat energy sales price, biogas, September–December 2021: EUR 100.07/MWh + VAT.
The total heat energy price for AER’s gas heating service, Warma, consists of gas procurement and heat production costs. We review the heat energy price three times a year.
Autumn heating prices reflect the significant rise in European gas exchange prices, which underpin Finnish gas pricing. No other component of your heating costs will change at the start of the autumn season.
Gas procurement prices are exceptionally high
European gas exchange prices have risen throughout late spring and this summer. The increase has been unusually large, especially for the warmer months, when fuel prices typically fall.
The European Gaspool and TTF gas indices are currently at EUR 35–40/MWh, an exceptional level by historical standards. During last summer’s coronavirus lockdowns, the same indices fell as low as EUR 5/MWh, which was also highly unusual.
We believe the current price level is a short-term response to events in gas and other commodity markets this year and last year. Current forecasts, as of 30 July 2021, suggest prices will return to normal during next year at the latest.
