Department of Energy and Climate Change
18 May 2016, Central government
The complainant has requested information relating to the Department for Energy and Climate Change’s (DECC) justification for state aid clearance submitted to the European Commission (the Commission) in respect of the EU’s consideration of the pricing methodology for Waste Transfer Contracts (WTCs) to be concluded between the UK government and operators of new nuclear power plants. DECC responded refusing to disclose the requested information citing regulations 12(5)(a) and 13 of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that DECC has acted appropriately by refusing to disclose the requested information under regulation 12(5)(a) of the EIR. He therefore does not require any further action to be taken. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Tribunal.
EIR 12(5)(a): Not upheld
