How Matrica Helps Energy Suppliers Transition Smoothly to Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS)
Understanding MHHS & Its Impact on Energy Suppliers
The UK electricity market is undergoing a major transformation with the Market-Wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) reform, which will require all electricity suppliers to settle customer consumption based on actual half-hourly (HH) metering data.
A key part of this transition is the introduction of the Data Integration Platform (DIP) and the replacement of existing D-flows with new IF data flows, fundamentally changing how metering and industry data is shared and processed.
At Matrica, we provide cutting-edge solutions to help energy suppliers navigate and optimize this transition, ensuring compliance, data efficiency, and market advantage.
Matrica’s Capability to Support Energy Suppliers in MHHS
1. Seamless Handling of the New IF Data Flows
IF data flow validation
We offer a DIP-SIM-like API that validates the IF data flows before sending them to the DIP, reducing rejections and improving data quality.
Automated Processing of IF Flows into Relational Databases
We support automatic ingestion and transformation of IF data flows (in JSON format) into structured relational databases.
This ensures accurate data storage, retrieval, and reporting, allowing suppliers to seamlessly integrate MHHS data into their billing, forecasting, and settlement processes.
Efficient Metering Data Processing for DUoS Charges
Suppliers will need to process half-hourly metering data for Distribution Use of System (DUoS) charges.
Matrica can automate this process, ensuring accurate data submission to the DIP.
2. Advanced Forecasting & Settlement Analysis
AI-Powered Demand Forecasting
Our self-learning algorithms optimize demand forecasting based on real-time data, past trends, and market factors.
This ensures suppliers accurately forecast demand and generation, reducing imbalance settlement risks.
Enhanced Load Profiling & Market Segmentation Analysis
We integrate with the new MHHS load profiles (IF-022 & IF-023) to optimize customer demand predictions.
This helps energy suppliers differentiate between domestic, SME, and industrial segments, improving hedging strategies.
3. Data Validation & Regulatory Compliance
End-to-End Data Quality Assurance
Matrica ensures all IF data flows conform to MHHS data validation rules to minimize errors and disputes.
We automate IF-014 rejections handling, ensuring that faulty data is corrected and resubmitted efficiently.
Comprehensive Audit & Reporting Tools
Our platform includes real-time monitoring dashboards and custom reporting, helping energy suppliers track MHHS compliance.
Automatic IF-040 annual consumption reports and IF-041 cumulative meter reading reconciliations help suppliers stay ahead of settlement issues.
Regulatory Alignment & Compliance
Matrica supports energy suppliers with tools to align with Ofgem’s MHHS mandates, reducing administrative burdens.
4. Flexible Deployment & Integration Options
API-First Approach for Seamless Integration
We provide fully documented APIs for IF flows, making it easy to integrate with existing CRM, billing, and settlement platforms.
Fully Managed Service or In-House Deployment
Suppliers can choose Matrica’s fully managed data service or integrate our services into their in-house systems.
