National Grid Electricity System Operator

The complainant has requested grid connections for seven wind farms. National Grid Electricity System Operator (NGESO) withheld the requested information under regulations 12(4)(d) and 12(5)(e) of the EIR, which concern material still in the course of information and commercial information respectively. NGESO has subsequently confirmed that it does not hold information potentially within scope of the request and is relying on regulation 12(4)(a) in that regard (information not held). It has also now applied regulation 6(1)(b) to some relevant information as that information is already in the public domain. The Commissioner’s decision is as follows: The information that NGESO holds that falls within scope of the complainant’s request is excepted from disclosure under regulation 12(5)(e) and regulation 12(4)(d) of the EIR and the public interest favours maintaining these exceptions. The Commissioner does not require NGESO to take any corrective steps.

EIR 12(4)(d): Complaint not upheld EIR 12(5)(e): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 127537
