The public register of investigations does not include information that could identify a Rule Participant, including the ESM Rules alleged to be breached. Where an investigation results in the ERA issuing a civil penalty notice, the details of the breach will be published on the register of breaches subject to ESM Rules’ clauses 2.13.49(b) and 2.13.51.
