Energy advice service
Regional energy advice has been given since May 2019 in all Finnish provinces (except Åland). Each province has its own energy adviser who helps households, housing associations, municipalities and small and medium enterprices (SMEs) with energy matters free of charge. The consultation is financed and supervised by the Energy Agency, and Motiva Oy’s expertise and tools are utilized in the consultation. In addition to regional advisers, energy advice to consumers is provided by Motiva’s nationwide Ask about energy -advice service.
In Northern Savo area, the City of Kuopio will provide energy advice service until 30 April 2025. From the beginning of May onwards, residents, housing companies, SMEs and municipalities in the North Savo region can contact Motiva’s free energy advice service for energy advice matters.
You can find the contact information for Pohjois-Savo’s energy advice and Motiva’s consumer advice at the end of this page.
