Sector: Electricity Retail and Energy Services
Oomi Oy (Finnish energy services company) acquired the business operations of Lumme Energia Oy (the electricity retail arm of Suur-Savon Sähkö) in a transaction merging Lumme’s entire electricity sales business into Oomi. The deal was publicly announced in mid-August 2025 and, after receiving Finnish Competition Authority approval in September 2025, was completed on 1 January 2026 (Day 1 of integration). This combination created Finland’s largest electricity retailer – for a total of about 800,000 customers nationwide. As part of the deal structure, Lumme Energia’s owner, Suur-Savon Sähkö Oy, became a minority shareholder (20.8%) in Oomi Oy, while the Lumme Energia brand will be phased out as operations consolidate under the Oomi brand during 2026. Existing customer contracts of both Oomi and Lumme Energia were unaffected by the merger (no changes to terms or pricing for customers).
