Corporate information

NESO is a new public corporation owned by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ). From the launch of NESO we become a public authority under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. NESO is also subject to the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

We’re regulated by Ofgem. Here, you can find out about Ofgem’s regulatory framework, how it applies to us and how it affects our business planning.

NESO acknowledges its crucial role within the energy sector and recognises the importance of the data it holds, as a result, we actively embrace the need to share our data externally, fostering transparency, innovation, and collaboration.

NESO’s board of directors have a crucial role in overseeing NESO’s ambition of being able to operate a zero carbon energy system by 2025, along with the delivery of its business strategy, objectives and plan.

Each year, we publish a statement on behalf of our NESO board that sets out what we are doing to assess and mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking in our business and our supply chain, and the progress we have made since our last statement.

Earlier this year we consulted on how we can have an Information Request Statement which is clear, and accessible. We appreciate the feedback provided and will publish the final Information Request Statement here once approved by Ofgem.
