Energy Market Changes

Market-wide half-hourly settlement is a major reform, that is underway to the UK electricity market that will ensure all electricity consumption is settled in 30-minute intervals, rather than using estimated profiles. This change will improve the accuracy of billing, support a smarter and more flexible energy system, and help businesses better understand and manage their energy use, costs, and carbon impact.

Half-hourly settlement will also encourage more efficient use of electricity by aligning energy costs more closely with when power is used. By rewarding consumption during off-peak periods and highlighting peak demand, it supports greater flexibility, enables innovation such as smart tariffs and storage, and plays a key role in supporting the transition to a low-carbon energy system.
