Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“The directors' base case assessment is that the company is expected to remain cash generative, and as a result to maintain sufficient liquidity, over the forecast period. The company sells power at market prices and receives government grants for the generation of renewable electicity. The majority of operating costs are based on fixed contracts. The subsidy regime mitigates the market risk of falling power prices, and so even in the case of a significant decline in power prices, the company is expected to generate sufficient operating cash flows to cover non-discretionary investing and financing cash flows, and as a result maintain sufficient liquidity over the forecast period. There are no indications of any events that would result in significant one-off payments of unforecast liabilities for the company. As part of their assessment the directors have considered the principal risks and uncertainties of the business disclosed in the relevant section of the Strategic Report. Whilst potentially severe but plausible downside scenarios have been identified the directors have concluded that, based on the mitigations put in place, these risks and uncertainties do not impact the going concern conclusion. There are no repayments of the intercompany loan falling due during the going concern period. These can be made at the discretion of the directors and would only be made from excess liquidity after an assessment having regard to the company's financial resources. Based on the directors assessment described above the directors are of the opinion that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing the company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 and therefore the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

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
