Dear Mr Elibank,

 

Thank you for your e-mail of 29 November 2011 in which you requested,
under the Freedom of Information Act (“the Act”), copies of Section 36
consents granted under the Electricity Act 1989.

 

I can confirm that the Department of Energy and Climate Change holds this
information.  However, the information requested is exempt under Section
21 of the Act, because it is already in the public domain and is,
therefore, accessible to you. You can access most of the consents granted
between 2005 to 2011 electronically via this site:
[1]https://www.og.decc.gov.uk/EIP/pages/rec..., by selecting the More
Information option next to an entry.

 

Consents granted prior to 2005 are only kept in hard copy and run to
several hundred pages, it is, therefore, impractical to scan them all.  It
would however be possible to send you hard copies of individual consents
if you could identify the particular ones you are interested in from the
attached list.

 

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to: Information Rights Unit
([2][email address]).

 

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.

 

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information
Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9
5AF
