Significant events
- “2024 was a transformational year for Freyr Battery, completing the first successful unit cell production trials at the Customer Qualification Plant ("CQP") in May, demonstrating the full functionality of the Casting and Unit Cell Assembly machine provided by the Company. In H2, following leadership changes and a re-evaluation of their market, Freyr Battery relaunched as "T1 Energy" and re-directed investment plans from battery to solar. No further development is expected with Freyr Battery. The Company recognised £1.6m of non-underlying impairment expense in relation to this.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
