What Soluvia Energy Services does

Soluvia Energy Services GmbH is a German shared service company established to centralize the metering and customer service functions of the MVV Energie group, headquartered at Andréstr. 71, Offenbach am Main. The company operates as a regulated infrastructure provider for the German energy market, delivering Smart Meter Gateway Administration (SMGWA), meter data management (Messdatenmanagement), remote meter reading (Zählerfernauslesung) for RLM load profiles, competitive metering operations (wettbewerblicher Messstellenbetrieb, wMSB), network operator services (Netzservice), and sales/customer service (Vertriebsservice) for electricity, gas, water, wastewater, disposal, and heat. Its technical backbone is a BSI-certified IT environment compliant with BSI TR 03109-6, enabling clients to outsource gateway administration without obtaining their own BSI certification.

Soluvia sells exclusively on a B2B basis under contractual service agreements. The customer base comprises MVV Gruppe subsidiaries (including MVV Netze GmbH, Energienetze Offenbach GmbH, EVO AG, and MVV Energie AG) plus approximately 90 municipal utilities (Stadtwerke) across Germany. Distribution is direct and field-led, supplemented by seven customer service centers (Kundenzentren) handling supplier switching, billing, and receivables management. The company also bundles multi-project management for cross-divisional IT and regulatory change programs (MsbG, EU-DSGVO).

The revenue model is managed services, billed via inter-company service agreements with MVV group entities and contracts with external Stadtwerke. Soluvia's three shareholders are MVV Energie AG (controlling parent), Energieversorgung Offenbach AG (EVO), and Stadtwerke Kiel AG. Technology partnerships include Schleupen SE for the underlying IKT platform used in SMGWA, with supporting alliances to industry bodies (BEMD, VDE|FNN, Energieforen Leipzig) and implementation partners (persona service AG, Gates GmbH).
