Due to come into force by the end of 2026, Market-Wide Half Hourly Settlement is being dubbed as the biggest transformation to the UK energy industry since privatisation and competition was introduced in the mid 1990s.
But what exactly is it? And moreover, what will it mean for everyday energy consumers, and Britain's net zero carbon emissions ambitions more widely?
In this special episode of Energy Matters, smart meter and energy data experts Richard Hill and Chris Mawer (Directors at SMS plc) discuss all of this, and ultimately, the huge challenge standing in the way of the UK's energy suppliers to deliver the change.

Imagine a sustainable community of UK schools that prepare young people with the skills needed for a net zero future, and in turn help actively reduce carbon emissions through a programme led by the children themselves...
Well, that is exactly what's happening through the Energy in Schools initiative (energyinschools.co.uk) -- a revolutionary new platform being rolled out by two leading energy solutions companies, SMS plc and MyUtilityGenius.
In this episode of Energy Matters, Tom Woolley chats to Guy Thompson, Chief Product Officer of MyUtilityGenius about how -- through expertly developed educational resources and smart technology -- the programme is helping schools reduce energy bills and environmental impacts, whilst empowering schoolkids to lead this change from the front.

Matthew Roderick, the founder of ground-breaking energy data company, n3rgy, speaks to Tom Woolley for the first ever episode of Energy Matters.
Together with host Tom, Matt discusses the essential role that energy data plays in global efforts to decarbonise. A role which has only recently been made possible through the ongoing digitalisation of energy systems worldwide due to new smart metering technologies.
They explore how improved accessibility to energy data (which can tell us exactly how much, where, and when we consume energy) is today empowering consumers and businesses to not only lower their costs and carbon emissions, but also enable profitability, productivity and innovation across new markets outside of traditional utilities.
n3rgy (www.n3rgy.com) is an innovative Software as a Service (SaaS) platform that aims to make energy data accessible to all, in turn enabling the growth of new business models whilst also empowering consumers by providing free services for data transparency and control.
Energy Matters is a podcast produced by SMS plc (www.sms-plc.com), the UK's leading smart energy infrastructure company. Through its range of solutions and network of carbon reduction assets, SMS aims to make our energy system greener and more sustainable for everyone.
