Exellent Customer Service

Fortum's customer service is excellent. The clerk was very professional and cooperative. They were able to handle all my three questions on the same phone call: editing personal data, invoicing, and power consumption/costs of my newest electrical device.

Untrustworthy sales by Fortum

We attended a fair in Helsinki 29th March 2026 and Fortum sales person sold us a spot price contract with 5,99 Euros + 0.47 cents + Spot price with the option to monthly lock the price to the offered fix price where this service is free of charge. In addition we were offered 6 months free use of smart charging for cars. We explicitly checked if the price guarantee is free and the sales person at the Fortum counter said explicitly that this service is free of cost. Though we made digital contract immediately , we didn't get the contract paper didn't come to e-mail immediately. The Fortum sales person told that there could be some technical issue and that the contract with agreed terms would come soon. The Contract arrived on 31st March. We didn't check much as we never had any experience where the contract would change from what the sales persons promised us. Our contract started from the beginning of May and On 18th May I received a call from Fortum asking how happy I am with Fortum? Then I told that I am not getting any message about the fixed price for the next month. Upon that the contact person from Fortum told that I am not given that service as per the contract and that I should pay 5,97 Euros per month. Then I checked the contract. The contract that was sent by e-mail was missing the price guarantee . Another surprise was that the price of electricity per Kwhr. In the contract it is .59 Cents + Spot price. The only thing that stayed on the contract vs what was offered when we signed the contract was the monthly price (5.99 Euros) and 6 months free smart charging. So now when we look back the the 3 day delay in sending the contract and the happiness check call on 18th May are like part of the scam by Fortum. In the last 21 years in Finland, I never had such an experience from anywhere. May be its just a symptom of Fortum or it could be that sales in Finland is moving from Trust based sales to smart sales; or too smart sales to be precise. Any way I don't trust Fortum anymore.

STAY AWAY!

STAY AWAY! Or prepare for spam calls. Since i left because another company gave me better price they have called me 5 times atleast to ask the same question. "Why did you leave? Did you get a better price or did we do something?" First time I told the truth and told them why, second time i found it strange and told the caller that they had already asked that. But still told them why. Third time I got more frustrated and just told them off and said they already asked me. 4th time I asked them to stop calling me and they said they would get me out of their system. Today the 5th time I got angry I told them again that it was the 5th time I told them I had already asked them to stop. Their excuse was first that all companies do it (I don't care I asked them to stop so they should stop. And since I have left another company before and still did not get harassed by them after I doubt it.), then they said they have different offices so they don't know the others have called. Again I don't care why they call me several times i asked them to stop atleast 3 times and they don't stop. If they answer this post with a "please contact our support to solve the issue" that is still not a reasonable way to solve their issue. I have asked them to stop already why do I have to make contact again to make them stop.

SCAMMERS! They only backed down after I reported them to TWO authorities!

Fortum and Lowell are scammers. They ignored me for two months while I tried to fix their billing error. I was lied to by "Ali" and "Ella," who promised to help and then simply stopped responding while the debt collection fees from Lowell kept rising. ​They waste your time and energy on purpose, hoping you will get scared and pay their fake invoices. I spent hours of my life fighting them. I only won because I stood firm and officially reported them to Elklagenemnda (Case 2026-0053) and Finansklagenemnda (Ref. 202603153). ​The moment they saw the legal case numbers, they suddenly "fixed" the mistake. It is a calculated scam. If you are an immigrant or someone who doesn't know the system, they will prey on you. DO NOT PAY. Report them to the authorities immediately. Karma will find this evil company.

I'm not happy for Fortum's lost…

I'm not happy for Fortum's lost billions in Russia. Finland should build at least one more nuclear power planr or several smaller ones.

Sign up now - for that extra fee you were never informed of you signed up for! Also: prepare for the sudden onset of amnesia of those "quality recorded customer service calls"

I switched from a fixed fee to paying-as-I-use, only to find out that Fortum had added a whooping ~15€ worth of 'extra paid services' to my bills. 1. i was informed that I'd receive ab email once once a month giving me the chance to lock an electricity rate in (lo and behold: no mention of this being a paid extra, but just sth I was told "happens" as part of my contract) 2. I was told cost is not affected by my choice to opt for solar/clean energy over alternatives (shocker: here cometh another 'extra fee' so graciously non-stated) It's only after a Fortum stand guy did me a solid and explained that this is why my bill is 85% service fee ! After contacting Fortum, I was told I can log a complaint, but it's likely nothing will come of it, as it's been such a long time (what? Rendering my consumer rights a historical whim? ) Whoever got that commission: I hope you get an itch you can't reach! As for Fortum: tata for nevermore!

Awful customer service

Awful customer service. After receiving multiple calls a day offering me to swap to their company as Electricity provider and explaining to the agent that I already have a contract and want to stick to it, the agent just continued to offer things and when I refuse the change he just rudely hunged up the call, so unprofessional and poor customer service ethics.

Big scammer ,I have ever seen anywhere…

Big scammer !I have ever seen anywhere in the world.they add so many services to the bills ( like flexibility contract,100% renewable enegry) without asking or any consent .I kindly urge all the people out here go stay away fortum.they were looting me since 2 years and finally managed to get rid of those unnecessary services which they act like it is mandatory to take to those services.I came to know about those when I ask my other friend and removed it.I regret by being customer of Fortum and I will never use this again when my contract is over .

This company is the worst electricity…

This company is the worst electricity provider. Last year they cut our electricity during a change of holder because they are incompetent. This year stopped sending invoices via Vipps all of sudden, try to force people in avtalegiro that never worked. Then complained about bills due. We called phone customer service they said they would fix billing via Vipps in a blink of an eye, we waited. Then got another complaint instead. They are a company of incompetent lazy people.
