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
Ratios

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Directors of BritNed are not aware of any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Asset availability for the year was reported at 81.0% (2023: 97%). The year on year reduction driven by an extended planned outage in July to undertake essential maintenance work, as well as a cable fault that occurred in December 2024. The fault occurred onshore in the Netherlands, on 6th December 2024.”
- “The interconnector returned to commercial service after 51 days on 27th January.”
- “During 2024 the remediation of cable depth burial for part of the interconnector has been completed as planned and in-line with the annual cable survey of 2023.”
- “On 27th June 2025, €39.8m interim dividends have been paid to shareholders.”
