The UK energy system is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades – and the introduction of Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) is at the heart of it. From 2026, all electricity suppliers will be required to settle every customer’s usage based on half-hourly (HH) data. That means dynamic pricing, real-time consumption tracking, and an end to estimated bills.

QGEMS is already ahead of the curve.

Our smart metering solution is MHHS-ready, supporting half-hourly data collection and transmission across your entire estate. Whether you’re managing schools, rental properties, or multi-site commercial facilities, we ensure that your energy data infrastructure is built to comply with – and capitalise on – this shift.

Benefits of Being MHHS-Ready with QGEMS:

Automatic half-hourly data submission for each meter

🗸 Unlock access to time-of-use and agile tariffs
