Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem)

The complainant has requested copies of all documentation and correspondence concerning evidence submitted by their client for an application to the Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (NDRHI) Scheme. The Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (‘Ofgem’) provided some of the requested information but applied redactions relying on regulation 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that Ofgem was entitled to rely on regulation 13 of the EIR to withhold some of the requested information. He also finds that, on the balance of probabilities, no further information is held within scope of the request. The Commissioner does not require further steps.
