SMS provides accredited Meter Operator services for commercial electricity customers, helping businesses manage metering assets, data and compliance.
Do I need a MOP agreement?
A Meter Operator agreement is required for the installation, operation and maintenance of commercial electricity meters.
Your Meter Operator is responsible for ensuring your metering equipment remains accurate, compliant and properly maintained throughout the contract.
What is a MOP DCDA?
A MOP DCDA service combines Meter Operator, Data Collector and Data Aggregator responsibilities into one integrated solution.
By consolidating metering and data responsibilities with a single provider, customers can simplify service management, improve data consistency and reduce the risk of billing discrepancies.
What is MHHS?
Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) is a major reform of the UK electricity market, designed to settle electricity consumption using more accurate half-hourly data. By moving away from estimated profiles and towards actual usage patterns, MHHS will support more accurate billing, improve market efficiency and enable smarter, more flexible energy solutions for businesses.
