MHHS Compliance
Settlement Readiness Under Control.
Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement changes how electricity consumption is recorded, validated and settled. As all eligible meters move to half-hourly settlement, data accuracy and billing transparency come under greater scrutiny.

Why MHHS Compliance Matters to Commercial Portfolios
MHHS introduces mandatory half-hourly settlement for eligible meters across the market.
This reform will:
That rating now directly influences:
- Increase reliance on accurate metering data
- Change how consumption is validated and settled
- Increase data granularity
- Strengthen supplier and market oversight
- Expose data inconsistencies more quickly
For portfolios with complex metering arrangements, tenant splits or legacy data issues, MHHS can surface underlying problems.
- Billing discrepancies
- Data gaps
- Settlement inaccuracies
- Increased supplier disputes
- Operational disruption
Carbonxgen treats it accordingly.
Who MHHS Applies To
MHHS affects electricity consumers across the UK market, particularly portfolios with advanced or migrating electricity meters.
- Commercial landlords
- Managing agents
- Multi-site portfolio owners
- Organisations with advanced or smart meters
- Sites with half-hourly or migrating meters
Portfolios with complex tenancy arrangements, shared supplies or legacy metering configurations may face greater exposure under MHHS reform.
If your electricity meters are transitioning to mandatory half-hourly settlement, MHHS Compliance will directly impact your billing validation, supplier coordination and data governance processes.
What MHHS Compliance Requires
Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement introduces:
- Mandatory half-hourly settlement for eligible meters
- Increased metering data frequency and granularity
- New data validation and performance standards
- Greater emphasis on accurate meter registration and configuration
- Tighter integration between metering agents, suppliers and data services
The reform is being implemented across the market through phased changes and system updates.
For organisations, this means:
- Meter accuracy and configuration must be correct
- Data flows must be consistent
- Portfolio visibility must improve
- Billing validation processes must be robust
Settlement reform increases transparency. It also reduces tolerance for poor data.
Governing MHHS Compliance as a Data Integrity Reform
Portfolio Metering Visibility
- Identification of meters within scope of MHHS
- Review of registration accuracy
- Verification of meter configuration and data flows
- Assessment of half-hourly data integrity
We establish a clear understanding of exposure before reform impacts performance.
Data and Billing Assurance
- Validation of half-hourly data accuracy
- Identification of anomalies and inconsistencies
- Alignment with billing validation processes
- Coordination with suppliers and metering agents
This reduces the risk of settlement-driven billing disputes.
Operational Readiness
- Review of internal data governance processes
- Integration with energy management and reporting systems
- Monitoring of transition impacts
- Ongoing performance oversight
MHHS compliance should strengthen transparency, not create disruption.
Carbonxgen provides governance control and commercial protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement?
MHHS Compliance ensures portfolios meet these new settlement and data governance requirements.
Who is delivering MHHS?
What types of meters will MHHS use?
Does MHHS affect existing contracts?
Will my tariff change automatically?
When does MHHS migration occur?
What are the wider system benefits?
MHHS improves electricity market forecasting, renewable generation integration and network efficiency. By settling consumption on half-hourly data, the system gains greater demand visibility, supporting flexibility, decarbonisation and improved operational performance.
How are CT AMR meters affected?
Does MHHS change the MPAN structure?
What should I do now?
Why is MHHS being introduced?
Do I need a new meter because of MHHS?
Will MHHS cost me anything?
How will MHHS affect my bills?
Does MHHS help reduce costs?
MHHS can support cost optimisation by providing accurate half-hourly consumption data. Improved visibility enables flexible tariff evaluation, stronger procurement decisions and targeted energy optimisation strategies. Cost savings depend on how organisations use enhanced settlement data.
How do settlement timescales change?
Settlement reconciliation periods reduce significantly under MHHS, from approximately fourteen months to around four months. Shorter timescales increase transparency and reduce tolerance for incorrect meter registration or estimated data.
Will I be informed before changes occur?
Yes, electricity suppliers are required to provide advance communication regarding MHHS migration and settlement changes. Customers should receive notification outlining timeline, meter status and any operational implications before transition occurs.
What about non-smart or non-AMR meters?
Will billing accuracy improve?
