Part 5: Independent System Operator and Planner Section 172: Power to require information from regulated persons etc
Section 172 empowers the ISOP to request information to help it fulfil its functions. Information can be requested from those engaged in, or whom the ISOP reasonably considers intend to engage in, relevant activities (as defined in 163(5)). The request must be responded to, as far as practicable, in the time, form and manner specified in the notice by the ISOP.
	The requirement to provide information is enforceable either by Ofgem (where the request is made to a person who is otherwise subject to Ofgem enforcement action under the Electricity Act 1989 or Gas Act 1986), or by the ISOP in civil proceedings.
