Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (Ofgem)

The complainant has requested information about Ofgem’s investigation into Drax Power Ltd (Drax). Ofgem withheld reports commissioned by Drax and conducted by KPMG under regulations 12(5)(b), 12(5)(e) and 12(5)(d) EIR. The Commissioner’s decision is that the withheld information is excepted from disclosure under regulation 12(5)(b) EIR which concerns the course of justice. The balance of the public interest lies in maintaining the exception and withholding the information. No steps are required.
