A Half-Hourly report is a set of data which has been collected from a half-hourly meter that measures electricity or gas consumption every 30 minutes.
Receiving a Half-Hourly Report allows you to monitor your energy consumption with precision. It helps identify peak usage times, assess the impact of operational changes, and uncover opportunities for energy efficiency improvements. This level of detail is particularly valuable for businesses aiming to optimise energy costs and align with sustainability goals.
Your Half-Hourly Report will display energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh) for each 30-minute period. By reviewing these intervals, you can pinpoint periods of high consumption and assess how specific activities influence overall usage. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about energy efficiency, identifying opportunities to reduce costs, and optimising when and how you use electricity.
With precise half-hourly data, your bills reflect actual usage, reducing the risk of overcharges. Plus, irregular readings can flag potential meter faults early, helping you avoid costly errors and delays in resolving billing disputes.
See exactly what you’re using and when. With access to heat maps and usage trends, you can identify inefficiencies, manage peak consumption, and adjust operations accordingly, which leads to reduced waste and lower energy costs.
Set custom consumption thresholds (e.g. alert if usage jumps 5%) to catch over or under-consumption as it happens. This helps you stay ahead of issues, make timely adjustments, and maintain tighter control over your energy use.
Half-hourly data opens the door to more competitive, usage-based tariffs from some suppliers. It also supports sustainability goals by helping you track and reduce carbon emissions through more informed decision-making.
A Meter Operator (MOP) is a specialist company responsible for installing and maintaining your Half-Hourly (HH) meter. They ensure the meter is functioning correctly and is capable of collecting and sending energy consumption data every 30 minutes.
For Half-Hourly metering, appointing a MOP is a regulatory requirement. Without a MOP, your meter data cannot be collected or submitted properly, which can lead to estimated billing, reporting errors, or even compliance issues. A valid MOP agreement ensures accurate data collection and smooth reporting.
Yes – MOP services are provided under a separate contract and typically involve an annual fee. If you don’t currently have a MOP in place, we can help arrange one as part of your setup. Please get in touch with us if you’d like more information or assistance.
