On July 13, 2009, non-public transmission function information that comprised a small portion of a larger draft audit-related document, was inadvertently sent by email to two marketing function personnel. The non-public transmission function information was critical energy infrastructure information protected from public disclosure by FERC regulations. The marketing function personnel that received the non-public transmission function information did not review that information.

Via email dated Monday, April 20, 2009, correspondence, which may have contained transmission customer information, was inadvertently sent to a marketing function employee. The marketing function employee received the correspondence for the purpose of providing input on a small part of the inquiry from the NYISO and NERC on compliance with reliability standards.

Via email dated Tuesday, February 10, 2009, correspondence, which may have contained transmission customer information, was inadvertently sent to a marketing function employee. The marketing function employee received the correspondence for the purpose of providing service to the transmission customer.

Via email dated Thursday, December 11, 2008, an interconnection study report, which may have contained transmission customer information, was inadvertently sent to a marketing function employee. The proposed interconnection reviewed in the study would be at distribution voltages. As such, it was not apparent that the study involved transmission customer information, and the marketing function employee received the study for the purpose of evaluating state jurisdictional interconnection requirements.

National Grid's metering data services personnel enlisted the assistance of an employee of the sales/marketing function in assessing the impact of unaccounted for energy (UFE) on the company's last resort customers, and in working with NYSPSC and NYISO staff in implementation of new subzone boundaries to resolve the issue. In the course of this analysis, the sales/marketing employee had limited access to subzonal load and injection information. File 1, File 2. Although such information is routinely posted by the NYISO on an aggregated zone basis, the information about subzones is not typically broken out for the general public. Upon the identification of the potential standards of conduct issue, the sales/marketing employee ceased further work on this project, and will have no further involvement until such time as information is made publicly available to all NYISO market participants. The sales/marketing employee has not acted upon this data in any other capacity.

An employee of the sales/marketing function visited briefly (about 5 minutes) the office of a transmission function employee to discuss in general proposed changes in the NYISO market rules for generation capacity. That office is in an area of transmission function offices where access is generally restricted. However, no nonpublic transmission information was disclosed to the sales/marketing employee, and his visit to the transmission office area was inadvertent.

An email containing information regarding a customer was sent to a group of employees that included one Sales/Marketing employee. The information related to the customer's request for certain services including potential transmission and potential electric commodity services. Because the structuring of the services requested by the customer would be more efficiently addressed in a multidisciplinary team that included both transmission function and sales/marketing function employees, the customer consented to the sharing of its information and its potential transmission service request by employees of both functions. In responding to the customer's request, nonpublic transmission system information will not be shared with sale/marketing employees
