The complainant has requested correspondence regarding advice provided to Ministers in relation to the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) subsidy for solar generation. The Department of Energy and Climate Control (DECC) identified information within the scope of the request but withheld it on the basis of regulation 12(4)(e). The Commissioner’s decision is that DECC has correctly applied the internal communications exception and the public interest favours withholding the information.
