Fortum Low-Carbon Electricity Tariffs in Europe

Fortum is offering electricity tariffs in Europe based on a low-carbon generation mix. The supply model relies on a combination of hydropower and nuclear energy, moving away from simple spot-price pass-throughs to a more structured procurement approach. These tariffs target households and businesses looking for a cleaner energy profile. By integrating long-term sourcing and market balancing, the model focuses on the emissions profile of the energy mix rather than just the final price per kilowatt-hour.

Nuclear and hydro are solid for baseload, but I wonder about the actual percentage split in this mix. Does the low-carbon label apply to the physical flow or just a portfolio of certificates?

Likely a portfolio approach. The real question is how this fits into the EU taxonomy and whether these long-term hedging models create any barriers for new, smaller renewable entrants to compete on price.

Basically just a bundled low-carbon product. It is interesting to see nuclear being marketed so directly as a clean option for consumers in the German-focused market.
