Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) is a major industry reform designed to transform how electricity consumption is measured and settled across Great Britain, enabling a smarter and more flexible energy system that supports Net Zero.

From 2026, industry participants will begin transitioning to mandatory half-hourly (HH) data under MHHS, with full market migration to follow.

By leveraging granular HH consumption data from advanced and smart meters, market participants will be able to accurately reconcile electricity consumption and settlement volumes on a half-hourly basis, moving away from estimated usage towards data-driven settlement.

HH data will deliver significant benefits, including:

  • Improved demand forecasting for energy suppliers
  • Better integration of renewable and low-carbon energy sources into the grid
  • More accurate settlement and billing processes
  • Increased opportunity to shift consumption to lower-cost periods, reducing energy costs

As Britain’s largest independent meter asset manager and data services provider, we are well positioned to support our customers and the wider industry in delivering MHHS. We provide a comprehensive end-to-end service and data solution to ensure compliance and maximise the value of half-hourly data.

 

Our approach to delivering MHHS

We’ve been heavy involved with the MHHS program since its inception. We’ve been able to develop an inhouse flexible solution that can evolve and grow alongside the MHHS programmes requirements and timeline. Industry participants need to be ready to implement the MHHS programme and we’re here to make sure you’re compliant.

Our dedicated team of industry experts will ensure that we’re not only compliant with the MHHS programme requirements but have the best possible offering for customers. This industry specialist team will support you beyond implementation, ensuring continued alignment and ongoing compliance.

We’re revising and developing our internal processes to ensure that they align with the MHHS programme requirements. We view MHHS as an extension of the metering and data services that we’ve provided for nearly two decades.

By utilising our already resilient and robust systems architecture, our data services team alongside key third party suppliers, are developing a scalable and secure Data Integration Platform (DIP) to facilitate data migration ready for our MHHS rollout.

Project timeline

The MHHS programme deadline for full transition is May 2027, with the program being critical in supporting a cost-effective decarbonisation of the UK’s energy sector. Energy UK explains MHHS Programme
