If your organisation has a mixed portfolio of meter types, the transition to Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) could be great news for energy data insight as I discuss in my Q&A below.
How will my data change?
For any Non-Half-Hourly meters in your portfolio with Automated Meter Reading (AMR) technology, your data collection and management functions will move into the new Advanced Data Service (ADS) segment under MHHS. This should then enable you to receive far more granular and time-sensitive data on how you are consuming energy at every meter point – not just your Half-Hourly meters.
How much more granular will my data be?
How quickly should you expect to see your energy data? And what could faster,
more detailed insight mean for managing your business? With industry changes
accelerating data availability, the big question is: how much more granular will
your data be?
Will every Advanced Data Service provider offer this?
We can’t talk for other MHHS data and metering service providers. But we can confirm that as an Advanced Data Service (ADS) provider, we will be able to offer the same high standards of data collection across both Half-Hourly (HH) and Non-Half-Hourly (NHH) AMR meters. So businesses with any AMR meters can expect an uplift from around 60% of data at Day +2 to 95% data at Day +1.
Why is your data so accurate?
Can you rely on certain energy data with complete confidence?
What happens behind the scenes to make that possible? The key
question is, what makes nBS's data so accurate?
How can I make sense of all this new data?
By far the best way is to link your consumption data – from both HH and NHH AMR meters – to a single energy management package that can organise it all for you.
For example, our My Energy Coach software helps you convert your energy data into clear insights and practical actions that support greater efficiencies and long-term savings. We offer three subscription levels – from Apprentice to Expert – that allow you to tailor your data management to meet your business’s requirements. You can find out more here.
What if my Non-Half Hourly meters don’t have AMR technology?
If your NHH meters can’t provide AMR data, what does that
mean for visibility and accuracy? And how does their role change
under MHHS? The key question, is what businesses should expect
as their meters move into new data service segments.
How easy is it to get AMR technology fitted on my Non-Half-Hourly meters?
Usually very easy. You just need to speak to your current meter operator to arrange an upgrade.
