Half Hourly Electricity Meters

Half Hourly Electricity Meters
Posted on Dec 19, 2023
by Pace Chan
Essentially, any UK business with peak loads of more than 100,000kWh of electricity per year will typically have an half hourly (HH) meter installed. Half hourly meters can also be referred to as 00 meters. HH record data from consumption every 30 minutes – this information is communicated to the energy supplier. We will break down half hourly meters as best we can to hopefully ease your mind.
Half hourly meters can be found everywhere
Ranging from call centres, manufacturing sites, supermarkets all the way to sites which consume as much as places like Manchester Airport, half hourly meters can be found everywhere! Over 160,000 sites are affected by this so it is definitely worth checking if you are part of this large number, further explanation on finding out how can be found below. If your site requires a HH it is vital you have a Meter Operator (MOP).
MOP is an organisation in the energy industry who hold the responsibility for installing and maintaining electricity and gas meters. They also provide the technical meter details to the Data Collector to enable collection of consumption data.
A HH Data Collector is in charge of collecting HH consumption data from the meter. The data is then certified and passed to the supplier for billing. HH meters allow you to understand your consumption and provides you with a reliable source of information for your businesses energy management. What more could you ask for? HH meters can be a great way to save your business money.
Finding out if you have a HH meter is easy
All you have to do is check the number next to your supply number marked ‘S’ – if the number reads 00 then you have a half-hourly meter.
Pricing for HH can vary. The following charges may appear on your bill if you have a HH Meter:
Energy Charges: We offer fixed price contract means you know precisely how much you will pay every month and can budget accordingly.
Once you are on a HH meter, you should never receive an estimated bill. This is measured in kWh.
Capacity Charges: this charge relates to the Available Capacity for your site. The Average Capacity is the demand for your site which is agreed with the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and they ensure this is available to you.
Reactive Power Charge: this is the difference between the working power and the total power consumed. If a site has a high reactive power, more current has to flow to provide the same output. This means more capacity has to be provided, potentially increasing costs for DNO.

The majority of businesses require considerable more electricity than the average home. This can work in your favour as it can enhance your negotiation price with your commercial energy supplier – in most cases.
Finding the perfect deal for your commercial electricity rates can be quite tedious and time consuming.
As a result you will find that most businesses use a specialised energy broker experienced in energy negotiation, which is understandable. However most energy brokers will typically add in a margin on the unit rates and standing charge so they can generate a commission on the energy a businesses may consume. Therefore the most reliable way to getting the best deal is by directly calling commercial energy suppliers yourself and shopping around. You may be surprised about the fact that by speaking to a commercial energy supplier direct, like ourselves, you may able to get better commercial electricity rates.

In the 1990’s a deregulation occurred which changed the game. Both domestic and business energy customers all over the UK can become a customer to the energy supplier of your choice. Once you switch suppliers, the only change you will notice is a different company logo on your bill and considerably lower charges.
The ‘Big 6’ energy suppliers admittedly supply the majority of businesses in the UK but if you shop around, you should notice smaller, less popular suppliers could help you and your business save amounts you wouldn’t believe – it’s worth switching your investigation mode on!
