- Affirmed
“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which has been supported by the provision of a parental letter of support from SSE plc. The Group letter of support confirms that the Group will provide support to 31 December 2026 where required. The Directors are satisfied that the Group has the ability to provide this support, should it be required.”
Significant events
- “During the year, there has been lower levels of volatility in the gas markets compared to previous years. This has reduced the opportunities for the commercial team to capitalise on the fluctuations in the gas market.”
- “The exceptional item in the prior year was a net impairment of the Gas Storage sites at Atwick and Aldbrough.”
- “The Company previously auctioned gas storage capacity contracts to the market. In April 2021 and 2022 the auctions resulted in no contracts being secured and there have been no further auctions undertaken in subsequent years.”
- “The Board is committed to a net-zero future and continues to discuss and explore opportunities to convert the gas storage facilities or build new facilities owned by SSE Hornsea Limited to be suitable to store low-carbon fuels.”
- “In the current year no impairment was deemed necessary. In the prior year, as a result of a significant drop in the short term forward gas prices, it was determined that an impairment charge of £134.1m should be recognised on the assets.”
