“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Significant events
- “In 2024, the Group completed its £300 million funding round, led by the National Wealth Fund (formerly UKIB) and Centrica, the British multinational energy and services company.”
- “The investment has enabled the commencement of construction on one of the world's largest LDES facilities in Carrington, Manchester, using Highview Power's proprietary LAES technology. Once completed, it will have a storage capacity of 300 MWh and an output power of 50 MW for six hours. Engineering, procurement, and construction are progressing well, with the facility on track to be operational in 2026, supporting over 700 jobs in construction and the supply chain.”
- “In the same year, the Group advanced planning for the Hunterston stability island, with a £125 million fundraising round scheduled to close in summer 2025.”
- “Highview Power is also set to begin planning for three larger-scale 2.5 GWh facilities, representing a total anticipated investment of £3 billion. Strategically located across the UK, these facilities will enable a rapid deployment of the technology, aligning with UK LDES support mechanisms and supporting NESO's Future Energy Scenario Plans.”
- “In March 2025 the UK Government and Ofgem released a decision paper on the LDES support mechanism (cap and floor) which was hugely positive for Highview.”
- “In March 2025 we successfully secured a Capacity Market contract, thereby securing the first revenues for the Carrington project. The contract value was above the management forecast and will run for 15 years from 1st October 2028.”
- “Contracted but not provided for £74,185,174 (2023: nil)”
- “Contracted but not provided for €28,139,842 (2023: nil)”
- “Contracted but not provided for $5,207,180 (2023: nil)”
- “The commitments relate to orders placed for the procurement of equipment and provision of construction services for the Carrington project.”
- “In February 2025, there was an additional drawdown of £16.8m from the debt facility in Cryobattery One Limited.”

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
