Welcome to Consultus
Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) is transforming how electricity consumption is measured and settled across the UK energy market. Under the new framework, electricity usage data will be collected and processed in 30-minute intervals, replacing the traditional system that relied on estimated consumption profiles.
To support this change, businesses will need metering systems capable of providing accurate half-hourly consumption data. This means many existing Non-Half-Hourly (NHH) meters will need to be upgraded or replaced with compatible smart or Half-Hourly (HH) meters. Our MHHS upgrade service helps businesses transition smoothly, ensuring compliance, minimising disruption, and preparing your site for the future of metering.
Our MHHS metering upgrade services are delivered by Connectus Utilities, the specialist metering and utility infrastructure division of the Consultus International Group. With extensive experience managing metering projects across the UK, Connectus supports businesses through every stage of the MHHS transition, from initial site assessments and planning through to installation, commissioning and ongoing support.
Connectus provides a fully managed, end-to-end service. Our expertise helps businesses stay compliant with industry regulations whilst ensuring accurate data collection and readiness for the future energy market.
We work with businesses to navigate the challenges of a complex and volatile energy market, helping to reduce risk, control costs, and achieve demand reduction targets. Through expert procurement strategies, we provide tailored solutions designed to work for your business.

Yes – MHHS will eventually affect almost all businesses that use electricity.
Businesses that already have Half-Hourly (HH) or smart meters may notice fewer operational changes, but businesses with older Non-Half-Hourly (NHH) meters will be transitioned to HH-compatible metering.
For many organisations, the transition may simply involve a meter upgrade or changes to the way energy data is collected and reported.
Businesses should start preparing for Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement to avoid delays, disruption, and potential compliance issues.
The earlier businesses engage with MHHS planning, the easier the transition is likely to be. Consultus’ metering team already has experience processing half-hourly (HH) data and can guide clients through the changes.
Yes, businesses are expected to benefit from MHHS in several ways. One of the biggest advantages is improved access to energy data and greater billing accuracy.
With half-hourly (HH) metering, electricity consumption is recorded every 30 minutes rather than relying on periodic manual readings or estimated profiles. This means more accurate billing with fewer estimated invoices, better visibility of when and how energy is being used and improved budgeting and forecasting based on real usage patterns.
