The collapse of the rosy calculation
Elvy's CEO and co-founder Johan Outinen speaks at Framtidens elmarknad on 22 May about the energy subscription giving homeowners control, no expertise needed.

The question he brings to the stage: how can the industry's business models give homeowners control over their energy needs without turning each of them into their own energy expert?
