Questions about moving here

Which electricity grids serve Åland?

Åland is served by 2 grid companies: Ålands Elandelslag and Mariehamns Energi. The municipality table shows the main grid first and the other companies serving some areas after it. A regional or municipal name alone cannot determine the company for every address. Open the local grid company's website to check its precise distribution area.

How is the grid company identified in Åland?

We match the Energy Authority's distribution areas to municipality boundaries and population data. The first company listed serves the largest share of residents in that municipality. Other listed companies operate in parts of it. This is a directory for finding the relevant companies, rather than an address-level lookup or a statement about a current outage.

Can I choose my electricity grid company?

The grid company is determined by your address. You can choose the company that sells you electricity, subject to the electricity contract's terms. Check your current bill or ask the landlord which grid serves the home, then compare sellers separately. A seller's name on a bill does not necessarily identify the local distribution company.
