Why Levo
Real partners instead of isolated solutions
Levo builds communal building supply not alongside but together with the existing energy infrastructure: municipal utilities, leading metering operators and local craft businesses. That makes your system stable and secure, and leaves you free to choose at any time.
100,000+
meters operated by our metering partners
Real metering operators, not home-made solutions
Many gGV solutions bring their own metering hardware – and with it a dependency you often only notice when you want to switch. We take the other path: metering is done, where possible, by the default metering point operator, the company that already looks after the meters in your grid area. For all other regions, we work with Germany's leading operators, instead of binding you to our own hardware. For you, that means calibrated technology, regulated processes and readings everyone can rely on.
- Metering by the responsible operator under the MsbG supported
- No proprietary gateway, no "Levo box"
- Readings via standardised smart meter gateways
Partner of the municipal utilities
Municipal utilities are grid operator, metering operator and often the default supplier in your region. Instead of working around them, we involve them from day one, as the only gGV provider to do so. That speeds up meter changes and registrations, avoids friction with the grid and billing, and keeps the value in the region.
- Direct collaboration instead of parallel structures
- Short paths for meters, grid connection and billing
- Regional value creation with local craft businesses
No lock-in, no trap
We want you to stay because it pays off – not because you can't leave. The PV system belongs to you or your owners' association. Because we only use standard smart meters, nothing depends on proprietary technology: switching energy contract is possible without replacing meters. The same goes for residents: they can join or leave at any time.
- The system remains your property
- Short contract terms
- Electricity contract switch without replacing meters or removing hardware
- Every party joins or leaves freely
For every ownership structure
Owners' association, property manager, housing cooperative, housing company, project developer or private landlord: every organisation decides differently, calculates differently and has different obligations. We adapt the model to your structure, for existing buildings and new builds, for a single building or an entire portfolio.
- Existing buildings and new builds
- Single buildings and entire portfolios
- One contact from analysis to operation
Comparison
Levo, tenant electricity and isolated solutions at a glance
What sets the models apart in the everyday life of owners and residents.
| Criterion | Levo (gGV) | Classic tenant electricity | Typical isolated gGV providers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metering | Leading metering point operator | Costly transformer metering | Proprietary hardware |
| Role of the municipal utility | Direct partner | Usually left out | No direct collaboration |
| Contract lock-in | Short terms | Long terms are common, including network energy | Often long-term through proprietary hardware |
| Ownership of the system | Stays with you | Often with the contractor | Depends on the provider |
| Switch energy provider without replacing meters | Yes | No | Yes |
| Residual electricity supply | Not needed, every party keeps its grid contract | Full-supply obligation | Not needed |
| Parties joining and leaving | Any time, in a few clicks | Requires meter conversion | Possible |
Typical characteristics of each model; depending on the network area, individual offers may differ.

Our partners
As strong as our regional partners
We work with established regional craft businesses and, as the only gGV provider, directly with municipal utilities (Stadtwerke) and their metering operations. This strengthens local players and gives our customers high-quality, future-proof systems.
This is how PV on apartment buildings becomes possible in practice too.
