	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>The Heat Network (Metering and Billing) Regulations 2014 require heat suppliers to notify their heat networks to the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS). The data is collected for compliance and enforcement purposes. OPSS are able to provide a partial postcode for the heat networks in the Borough, should this be requested. However, the names of heat suppliers and the exact locations of heat networks in the Royal Borough of Greenwich cannot be published as it is commercially sensitive information. Additionally, this data will fall within the definition of ‘personal data’ where it includes information relating to an identifiable person who directly, or indirectly, can be identified by the linking of other data sources. This means it will be subject to the General Data Protection Regulation / Data Protection Act 2018, and consent would be needed from the heat suppliers for its release.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 10/06/2019 16:23:34 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
