- Date 9 February 2022
- Sector Other
- Decision(s) FOI 1: Not upheld, FOI 21: Not upheld
The complainant requested information about the use of “PACE powers.” The Office of Gas and Electricity Markets relied on section 21 of FOIA to withhold the requested information as it was already reasonably accessible to the requestor. The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofgem is entitled to rely on section 21 of FOIA to withhold the requested information and, on the balance of probabilities, holds no further information within the scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
