Methodia and EPTECH partner to help UK electricity providers achieve seamless MHHS compliance and digital transformation with cutting-edge technology for automated meter data management, accurate billing, and enhanced operational efficiency
Methodia, a leading provider of utility and telecom management software solutions, has joined forces with EPTECH, a trusted provider of software solutions, regulatory advisory services and business process outsourcing for the UK energy sector, to equip UK energy providers with next-generation solutions for the Market-wide Half-Hourly Settlement (MHHS) transition. This collaboration marks a significant step towards expanding both companies’ presence in the rapidly evolving UK utility market and supporting businesses in adapting to the upcoming MHHS programme.
The partnership combines Methodia’s end-to-end utility management system, ‘Utility & Telecom Suite’, with EPTECH’s expertise in energy dataflow management, meter point administration, and regulatory compliance. Together, the companies will enable electricity suppliers, retailers, and generators to re-qualify and seamlessly transition to the MHHS target operating model, ensuring compliance, operational efficiency, and market competitiveness.
Addressing the MHHS Transition with Advanced Utility Management Solutions
The MHHS programme represents a pivotal transformation in the UK electricity market, mandating half-hourly metering data processing for all customers. This shift enhances settlement accuracy, improves demand forecasting, and supports a more efficient, data-driven energy sector. However, for electricity suppliers, this transition presents significant operational and technological challenges. Suppliers are expected to upgrade their systems to integrate with a new Elexon central system called DIP, implement new MHHS target business processes and ensure compliance with industry regulations. The Methodia-EPTECH partnership provides a robust, unified platform to help suppliers navigate these changes with confidence. The combined solution offers full capability from integration to DIP, supplier business process automation and settlement data management.
Methodia’s Director, Evo Stefanov, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership:
‘The UK energy market is undergoing one of its most significant transformations with the implementation of MHHS, and utilities must adapt quickly to remain competitive. At Methodia, we are committed to equipping energy retailers with the right tools to navigate this transition seamlessly. Partnering with EPTECH allows us to integrate their advanced technology with our Utility & Telecom Suite, ensuring that UK electricity providers can automate half-hourly data processing, enhance operational efficiency, and maintain full compliance with regulatory standards. This collaboration is a key step toward a more agile, data-driven, and customer-centric energy sector.’
EPTECH’s Director, Andy Pace, added “As energy retailers prepare for MHHS implementation, the need for adaptable and integrated technology solutions is greater than ever. Our partnership with Methodia ensures that utilities can seamlessly manage half-hourly settlement data, automate regulatory compliance, and ensure accurate billing, unlocking new efficiencies in a rapidly changing market.”
With this strategic alliance, Methodia and EPTECH are committed to transforming the energy sector by delivering innovative solutions that empower electricity providers and support a sustainable energy future in the UK.
