Response
Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).
In your email you have requested information related to the organisation's gas and electricity contracts, as well as details on the energy management system.
The Gambling Commission is a tenant within a building. The arrangements for supply of our energy are managed by our landlord; they are billed by the energy provider, and this is then re-charged to ourselves.
The Commission are billed as part of our service charge for our energy use. The landlord simply takes the total building’s energy bill and splits it across the various tenants.
As such, the breakdown of information you have requested is not held by the Commission.
