The Commissioner finds that the public interest lies in maintaining Ofgem’s application of this exception. She also finds that Ofgem complied with regulation 9 of the EIR (advice and assistance). The Commissioner does not require Ofgem to take any steps. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2020/0191 appeal withdrawn.
