Dear Sir or Madam,
On 16 March 2026, I sent the below public information request concerning the
implementation of Article 12 of the Energy Efficiency Directive (EU)
2023/1791 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364.
As I have not yet received an acknowledgement or substantive response, I
would kindly like to ask whether my request has been received and is being
processed.
I would be grateful if you could confirm receipt and, if available, share
any reference number assigned to the request.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Kind regards,
Nico Schmidt

Dear Sir or Madam,
Pursuant to the Public Information Act (Avaliku teabe seadus), I hereby
request access to the following information held by the Ministry of Economic
Affairs and Communications:
1. All correspondence — including emails, letters, memoranda, minutes of
meetings, and any other written communications — between the Ministry and
the European Commission (or any of its services, including DG Energy)
concerning the implementation of Article 12 of the Energy Efficiency
Directive (EU) 2023/1791 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2024/1364,
in particular regarding the reporting obligations for data centres, the
confidentiality of reported data, and the public disclosure of data centre
energy performance information. Time period: 1 January 2023 to present.
2. All data centre energy performance reports submitted to or through the
Ministry to the European database pursuant to Article 12 EED, or any
summaries, compilations, or analyses of such reports held by the Ministry.
3. Any internal guidance, policy documents, or legal assessments produced by
or for the Ministry regarding the interpretation of the trade secrets and
confidentiality exemptions under Article 12(1) EED and Article 5 of the
Delegated Regulation, as applied to data centre reporting in Estonia.
I request that the documents be provided in electronic form (PDF or original
format) by email.
Should any documents contain information subject to access restrictions
under §35 of the Public Information Act (e.g. business secrets), I request
that a document-by-document assessment be carried out and that
non-restricted portions be released with any restricted passages redacted.
I am an investigative journalist at Investigate Europe, a pan-European
journalism consortium. This request relates to ongoing reporting on data
centre energy transparency under the EED, for publication in European media.
Kind regards,
Nico Schmidt
