The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the income statement within the financial statements.true

For the financial year ended 31 March 2025 the company was entitled to exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year in question in accordance with section 476.

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Willington Power Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Sutton Bridge Power Station, Centenary Way, Spalding, Lincolnshire, PE12 9TF.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £'000.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the period to 31 March 2027 which represents the Directors’ best estimate of the future development of the Company.

Having consulted with the secured lender, the Directors have put in place a flexible arrangement which provides funding on a month-by-month basis.

Based on the ongoing positive relationship with the secured lender and following preparation of detailed forecasts, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and as such, believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In making this judgement, the Directors expect that the company’s principal activity of the development of land at the former Willington gas-fired power station site will continue.

Tangible fixed assets are included on the statement of financial position at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment. Cost includes the original purchase price of the asset and the costs attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

Capitalisation begins when expenditure for the asset is being incurred and activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for use are in progress. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for use are complete. Depreciation commences when the asset is available for use.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each statement of financial position date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income and retained earnings as described below:

Non-financial assets

An asset is impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after initial recognition, the estimated recoverable value of the asset has been reduced. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The recoverable amount is calculated based on the directors’ best estimate of the present value of the future cash flows of the business.

Financial assets

For financial assets carried at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that would be received for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price

Financial assets are derecognised when substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and loans from fellow Group companies are initially recognised at transaction price. Debt is initially stated at the amount of the net proceeds after deduction of issue costs. The carrying amount is increased by the finance cost in respect of the accounting year and reduced by payments made in the year.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, which are described above, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future years

The following are the critical judgements that the director made in the process of applying the company's accounting policies and that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

An estimation is required as to the valuation of the land at the Willington site. The directors obtained third party valuations to substantiate the value being held. In completing the impairment review, the directors have satisfied themselves that the estimates made are reasonable.

In order to assess whether it is appropriate for the company to be reported as a going concern, the directors apply judgement, having considered the business activities, the company's principal risks and uncertainties, cash flow projections and external factors. In arriving at this judgement there are a large number of assumptions and estimates involved in calculating these future cash flow projections and the prospect of securing the additional support that will be required.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

Included in other creditors are amounts owed to Group companies of £22,264,000 (2024: £22,183,000). Amounts owed to Group companies are unsecured and bear no interest. They are mostly with companies that are in administration.

In accordance with section 33 of FRS 102 ‘Related party disclosures’, the Company is exempt from disclosing transactions with entities that are part of the Group or investees of the Group qualifying as related parties, as it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a parent, Calon Energy Limited.

The immediate parent of the Company is Calon Energy Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales, which owns 100% of the ordinary share capital.

Calon Energy Limited is regarded as the Group’s ultimate parent company and controlling party. On 24 June 2020 Calon Energy Limited entered administration and therefore there is no requirement to file consolidated financial statements for Calon Energy Limited.
