We’re ready for MHHS

After extensive planning, collaboration, and rigorous testing, we’re proud to say we’ve successfully exited the System Integration Testing (SIT) phase and are ready for Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement.

The official qualifications from Elexon and RecCo next month can’t come quickly enough for us.

This landmark reform marks a major shift in the UK electricity market-moving all consumers to providing half-hourly energy consumption data and realising the benefits of actual data now available through the Smart Meter Roll-Out.

MHHS is more than just a regulatory milestone. It’s a foundational step toward a smarter, more flexible energy system that supports net-zero goals. By enabling suppliers to better understand when energy is used. 𝗠𝗛𝗛𝗦 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗳𝘀, 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆.

“This has been a truly cross-functional achievement,” said 𝗛𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱, 𝗠𝗛𝗛𝗦 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿. “MHHS is the most significant industry change to the electricity market since its privatisation, and I’m proud of the commitment our teams have shown to getting us ready-not just to comply, but to lead.”

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗿 added “As well as our new MHHS services, covering smart and advanced Metering and Data Services, we have developed and introduced ‘Connect’ – our new customer portal with real-time access to complete portfolio views with drill-down facilities, data extraction, and more.”
