MVV Environment business energy supplier profile
MVV Environment is the UK branch of the German MVV group, focused on energy-from-waste and biomass operations rather than a broad consumer-facing retail energy proposition. Official materials describe UK facilities at Devonport (Plymouth), Baldovie (Dundee) and Ridham Dock (Kent), with the business supplying waste-fired electricity and heat solutions to public and private sector customers.

Where your p/kWh actually goes
Indicative split for a UK I&C electricity bill in 2026, sourced from Cornwall Insight's non-commodity cost research. Your meter, region and contract type shift the exact mix, but the four components are always present.
- Wholesale energy, 38%Gas or power bought on the wholesale market. The figure most coverage focuses on.
- Non-commodity costs, 53%Network charges (DUoS, TNUoS), policy levies (RO, FiT, CfD, Capacity Market), CCL and balancing costs.
- Supplier margin, 6%What the supplier earns. Always priced into the unit rate.
- Broker margin, 3%What we earn for tendering and managing the contract. Shown separately on every Purely Energy quote.
Who MVV Environment may suit
Best fit for large-scale public-sector, industrial, commercial and infrastructure customers needing waste-to-energy or energy-generation partnership solutions; not positioned as a standard SME business electricity brand.
Trading name and licence-holder notes
The licensed entity is MVV Environment Services Ltd, but the customer-facing brand on official pages is usually MVV Environment / MVV Energie AG. Official UK pages present it as the UK branch of German energy company MVV rather than a separately branded retail supplier.
Switching from MVV Environment to a fixed business contract
UK businesses can switch electricity supply away from MVV Environment once their fixed contract ends, or after resolving any open objection or termination-window issue. The process is the same for every supplier on the non-domestic market, but a few checks done in the right order make the transfer materially faster.
- 1. Find your contract end date. It's on your last renewal letter or the most recent bill from MVV Environment. Most non-domestic contracts have a 1 to 6 month termination window before that date, outside of which you may auto-roll onto a new fixed term.
- 2. Get your MPAN ready. The 21-digit MPAN (electricity) and 6 to 10-digit MPRN (gas) uniquely identify each meter and are needed for any competing quote. Both appear on your bill.
- 3. Compare against the live market. MVV Environment doesn't publish standard out-of-contract rates, so request a written renewal quote first and benchmark it against live market prices before agreeing anything. Purely Energy can run your meters against the wider UK panel and come back with the cheapest fixed offers.
- 4. Settle the final bill and clear any objections. MVV Environment will issue a final bill within 6 weeks of supply transferring. If a balance is outstanding, they can object to the switch under industry rules, so clear it before the transfer date to avoid a hold.
- 5. Sign the new contract. Once the new supplier has your MPAN/MPRN and signed contract, the transfer typically completes within 4 to 8 weeks. There is no break in supply, you simply receive your first bill from the new supplier.

Yes. MVV Environment is on the Ofgem non-domestic licensee register for electricity. Ofgem maintains the official register at ofgem.gov.uk.
What are out-of-contract business energy rates?+
