“The Directors have assessed the prospects of the Company over the 12-month period after the date that these financial statements were authorised for issue. The Directors have considered the forecast financial position of the Company, the Company's commitments and obligations, the Company's expected cashflows and other relevant financial forecasts. This assessment has considered the level of funding available to the Company, participation in the Group's cash pool arrangements and other forms of internal support, including a letter of support received from Drax Group Holdings Limited, where applicable, credit metrics and the current and future economic climate. In their assessment, the Directors have considered the principal risks faced by the Company including, climate change. The Directors believe these assets to be highly flexible and able to provide the grid with a range of services, which they believe will become increasingly important as the UK energy system becomes progressively more reliant on energy generated from wind.”
Significant events
- “In March 2021, the Company acquired a fifteen-year Capacity Market contract starting late 2024 to enable the financing, construction and operation of a 299MW OCGT power generation plant. The asset remains under construction as at 31 December 2024 and is expected to be operational in 2025. This is later than originally planned, primarily due to delays in grid connection by the relevant authorities.”

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
