Two suppliers have completed 75% of their migrations under the Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) programme. A third of Britain's electricity metering systems now operate under half-hourly settlement arrangements.
What This Means
The MHHS programme aims to modernise our electricity market, leading to more accurate billing and potentially new tariffs. While this progress is a step towards a more efficient system, the direct impact on UK bill-payers isn't immediately clear. In the long run, we hope this will enable smarter energy use and potentially lower costs, but consumers should remain vigilant about how these changes are reflected in their bills.
- Consumers: No immediate change to household bills, but worth watching.
- Businesses: Limited direct cost impact for businesses for now.
- Energy market: A structural or regulatory development to monitor.
