Material uncertainty over going concern
The Company relies on the continued financial support from the Group through a Letter of Support from Energy Transition Holdings Ltd. The licensed entities of the Group, being OVO Electricity Ltd and the company, fall within the Intermediate Position under Ofgem's Capital Adequacy framework from 31 March 2025. As a result, the Group has agreed a required capitalisation plan with Ofgem to improve its capital position within the going concern period. However there is uncertainty around the timing and extent of the implementation of a capitalisation plan due to certain elements being outside the control of the Group. This creates a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and therefore its ability to continue to support the Company.
