UK Power Networks (Operations) Limited

The complainant has requested information about power surges – the number that have caused damage and any compensation paid. UK Power Networks (Operations) Ltd's original position was that the requested information isn’t environmental information and so it wasn’t obliged to respond to the request under the EIR. UK Power Networks (UKPN) has subsequently confirmed to the Commissioner that it considers it isn’t a public authority for the purposes of the EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that UKPN isn’t a public authority under regulation 2(2) of the EIR and therefore isn’t obliged to respond to the request under the EIR. Since UKPN isn’t a public authority for the purposes of the EIR, the Commissioner can’t order it to take any steps.

EIR 2(2): Complaint not upheld

Decision notice: 274898
