Renewables Obligation to Exchequer Cost Scheme Due Diligence and Monitoring Privacy Notice

DESNZ has published a privacy notice detailing its data processing practices related to grant payments under the Renewables Obligation to Exchequer Cost Scheme. The notice explains what personal data is collected, the purposes for processing, and how data subjects can exercise their rights under data protection legislation. Energy suppliers participating in or applying to this scheme should be aware that DESNZ conducts due diligence and monitoring activities that involve processing personal data. The notice does not create new compliance obligations but serves as transparency documentation under UK data protection requirements.

For affected energy suppliers, this notice clarifies the data relationship with DESNZ in the context of grant administration. Suppliers should ensure their own privacy notices and data sharing agreements account for this government data processing activity where applicable.
