Decision (including any steps ordered)

with the request, stating that it was not a public authority for the
purposes of the EIR.
3. The Commissioner’s decision is that NGM is not a public authority for the
request.
4. Since NGM is not a public authority for the purposes of the EIR, the
Commissioner cannot order any steps to be taken in response to the

Background information

company. It is the overall parent company to a number of separate and
distinct National Grid entities, both regulated and unregulated, within
the wider National Grid group.
6. In order to avoid confusion, the Commissioner will refer to National Grid
PLC, the overall parent company, as ‘NG.’ If he needs to refer to a
specific NG entity, he will make this clear.
7. NG maintains that ‘not all National Grid entities constitute a "public
authority" under the EIR.’
