- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and therefore the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The life of the production asset was updated to align with the anticipated lease end date, which was also extended from 2033 to 2037 in the year. The remeasurement of the lease liability resulted in additions to the right of use asset of £3,628,080, and a corresponding increase in the lease liability of the same amount.”
- “The current expectation is that the wind farm will operate until 2037 after which point it will be decommissioned.”
- “After the balance sheet date, interim dividends of £37,551,000 were paid.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
