- Decision(s) EIR 13: Not upheld, EIR 14.2: Upheld, EIR 5.1: Not upheld, EIR 5.2: Upheld
The Commissioner’s decision is, first, that the information the complainant has requested about a Feed-In Tariff transfer is environmental information which Ofgem correctly handled under the EIR. The Commissioner has also decided that Ofgem has disclosed all the information it holds that’s relevant to the complainant’s request and which isn’t subject to an exception. The information Ofgem has withheld is personal data which is excepted under regulation 13(1) of the EIR. However, the timeliness of Ofgem’s response didn’t comply with the requirements of regulation 5(2) and 14(2). It’s not necessary for Ofgem to take any corrective steps.
