Department for Energy Security & Net Zero

The complainant requested information regarding profiles of memory usage and battery health across devices used by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). DESNZ refused the request citing section 12 (cost of compliance) of FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that DESNZ was entitled to rely on section 12 in response to the request. It has also complied with its duty to provide advice and assistance in line with the requirements of section 16 of FOIA. The Commissioner does not require any steps as a result of this decision.
