- Going concern
- Affirmed
“These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Directors have received confirmation that provided the Company remains part of the Group, The Renewables Infrastructure Group (UK) Investments Limited will support the Company for at least one year after the date of signature of these financial statements and that amounts owed to Group undertakings will not be required to be repaid for the foreseeable future unless sufficient financial resources and facilities are available to the Company. The directors have considered the company's cash flow forecast, which are dependent on additional intercompany funding from the Group, for the period to the end of December 2026 and are satisfied that the company, taking into account of the company's and wider group's reasonable possible changes in trading performance and the current funds available, is able to operate for at least twelve months from the signing of the Annual Report and Financial Statements. For this reason, the directors believe that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and therefore it is appropriate that the company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Financial Statements.”
Significant events
