inexogy: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

inexogy is a German company based in Saarlouis that operates smart electricity meters and processes the data they generate. It handles the installation, operation and data transmission of intelligent meters, supplies an energy data portal, and administers Smart Meter Gateways. The energy portal is also offered as a white-label product to other energy companies. The company was formerly known as Discovergy, and its operating business moved into inexogy smart metering GmbH & Co. KG with effect from January 2024.

Because inexogy meters electricity in Germany, its services fall under German and EU law. The website does not name a parent company, and it does not describe where data is hosted or how cloud services are delivered, so energy providers and other customers should ask for this in writing. Smart meters produce sensitive consumption data, so hosting location, access controls and data-processing terms matter. The software is not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with inexogy

inexogy is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so inexogy scores best on data residency.

inexogy is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs inexogy together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
