2024 FOI disclosure logs

Copies of the "internal" documentation, instructions to staff, memos, schedules etc by which you require and direct your staff to compile (and what information to gather in order to compile etc) returns for submission to organs of the State which identify vacant properties based on electricity usage in accordance with such legislation as compels you to submit same. It would be helpful too to have a copy of such a return - though of course with NO user identity so as to be GDPR compliant.  

I am willing to amend my request if it will save you time yet still help me answer the key questions.

QUESTIONS: It is understood that your company/business/organisation advises an organ of the state when metered supply appears to be unused and thus indicates a Vacant House, which leads to punitive LPT Charges. Accordingly what I am interested to determine is:

1. Do you provide such information when usage falls below a certain level?

2. If "YES" I wish to find out:

2.1 what that certain level is (specified in unit of measure) 2.2 what time period that involves (i.e. measured over a month ? 3 months ? what ?)

2.3 the organ of state to which the return is made (Revenue, Housing what ?)

2.4 if there is specific legislation compelling you to do this, and if so  

2.5 what is the specific legislation called (i.e. what Act is it ?)  

2.6 Given the provisions of GDPR, whether you are in breach of same?  

3. What the "certain level" (see 1 above) is beyond which you would not be compelled to make a return

I recently visited your webpage at who-we-are-our-networks and noted the detailed information on the various cables and substations that you manage. We are interested in understanding how frequently the data on your networks is updated and whether this information is available in any geographic data formats such as GeoJSON or SHP. Having access to such data in these formats would be incredibly beneficial for integrating it into our platform, thereby enhancing our services. Could you provide details regarding the update rate of your network data and the availability of any geometric formats?
