• MVV and Ostrom are cooperating to support households with dynamic electricity tariffs and an intelligent energy management system to shift their electricity consumption to favourable times and thus reduce energy costs.
• The MVV energy management system makes it possible to use electricity from PV systems efficiently and, for example, to charge e-cars at times when electricity is cheap - especially when there is a high feed-in from wind and solar energy.
• By integrating the Ostrom tariff into MVV.Beratung, customers receive a complete solution with which they can save several hundred euros per year and actively contribute to climate protection.

Cutting costs by shifting electricity consumption in times of low electricity prices - optimising consumption with MVV's energy management system

Mannheim/Berlin, 31.03.2025. The Mannheim-based energy company MVV and the digital electricity provider Ostrom from Berlin are entering into a partnership to provide households with even greater support in optimising their energy consumption with dynamic electricity tariffs. With Ostrom's dynamic tariffs and MVV's energy management system, customers can shift their electricity consumption to times when prices are low - and thus significantly reduce their energy costs.  

‍Optimising decentralised solutions

MVV Energie AG has been offering its customers intelligently controlled decentralised energy solutions for years. This enables customers to utilise the electricity from their PV systems as efficiently as possible themselves or store it for later use. MVV's energy management system has also recently made it possible to optimise consumption through dynamic electricity tariffs. This is particularly beneficial for customers who charge their electric cars at night, for example, when electricity is particularly cheap.‍

Everything from a single source

As part of the cooperation, the Ostrom offer for dynamic electricity tariffs will be integrated into MVV.Beratung. MVV customers not only receive comprehensive information on the benefits of dynamic tariffs, but can also take out an Ostrom tariff directly.

Partnership with impact for the energy transition and climate protection

‘We are delighted about the cooperation with Ostrom, because the intelligent control with the MVV Energy Manager and the dynamic tariffs can save our customers several hundred euros a year on their electricity bills,’ reports Silvia Fischer, Head of Private and Commercial Customers at MVV.

According to the Federal Network Agency, around 54 per cent of electricity in Germany already comes from renewable energies. When the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, electricity is particularly cheap on the electricity exchange. ‘To be able to utilise this advantage effectively, consumers need a dynamic electricity tariff that is directly linked to the price development of the electricity exchange. We are delighted to be able to offer MVV an attractive dynamic tariff,’ says Matthias Martensen, founder of Ostrom.
