The directors present their Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of decommissioning of the Blyth Offshore Wind Farm, which is no longer operating.

The results for the year are set out on page 7.

No ordinary dividends were paid (2023: nil). The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.

The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

RWE AG, the ultimate parent company, has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of the company’s directors during the year. These provisions remain in force at the date of approval of the financial statements.

The company maintains insurance policies on behalf of all the directors against liability arising from negligence, breach of duty and breach of trust in relation to the company.

The company has in place a risk management programme that seeks to limit the adverse effects on the financial performance of the company by monitoring levels of debt finance and the related finance costs. The company's operations expose it to a few financial risks which are set out below.

The company continues to receive financial support from the parent company, RWE Renewables UK Limited. It participates in the RWE Group cash pooling mechanism through the ultimate parent undertaking, RWE AG, providing short term liquidity within agreed limits. Due to these factors the company is not subject to liquidity or cash flow risk.

The company has no significant exposure to interest rate risk.

The company has no significant exposure to currency risk as the majority of the company’s transactions and balances are denominated in sterling.

The company has no significant exposure to credit risk.

The company has no significant exposure to price risk.

All of the offshore decommissioning works were completed during 2019. The remaining onshore decommissioning activities were delayed due to COVID-19 and for administrative reasons and are expected to be completed by the end of 2026.

Deloitte LLP were appointed as auditor to the company, and have indicated their willingness to be reappointed for another term.

Each of the persons who is a director at the date of approval of this report confirms that:

• so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and

• the director has taken all the steps that he/she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself/herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of s418 of the Companies Act 2006.

The directors decided on 20 December 2017 to decommission the site and all offshore decommissioning works were completed during 2019, however, the remaining onshore decommissioning activities were delayed due to COVID-19 and for administrative reasons. The remaining onshore decommissioning works are expected to be completed during 2026. Following settlement and termination of any remaining contracts, it is anticipated that the company will cease to trade during 2026.  Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting is no longer considered appropriate as at 31 December 2024 which is consistent with the prior year.

In preparing this report, the directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 414B of the Companies Act 2006 in not preparing a Strategic report.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulation.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have prepared the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework”, and applicable law).

Under company law, directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising FRS 101 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are also responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

In our opinion the financial statements of RWE Renewables UK Blyth Limited (the ‘company’):

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its loss for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework”; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

We have audited the financial statements which comprise:

• the statement of comprehensive income;

• the statement of financial position;

• the statement of changes in equity; and

• the related notes 1 to 17.

The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council’s (the ‘FRC’s’) Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of matter - Financial statements prepared other than on a going concern basis

We draw attention to note 1.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than that of a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

We considered the nature of the company’s industry and its control environment and reviewed the company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired of management and the directors about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including those that are specific to the company’s business sector.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, and identified the key laws and regulations that:

• had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. These included UK Companies Act and tax legislation; and

• do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included environmental regulations, health and safety regulations and data protection regulations.

We discussed among the audit engagement team including relevant internal specialists such as Tax and IT specialists regarding the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements.

In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to the risks identified included the following:

• reviewing financial statement disclosures by testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;

• performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;

• enquiring of management and in-house legal counsel concerning actual and potential litigation and claims, and instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and

• reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance, reviewing internal audit reports and reviewing correspondence with HMRC.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

• the information given in the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the directors’ report.

Under the Companies Act 2006 we are required to report in respect of the following matters if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

• the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

On 20 December 2017, the directors of the company made the decision to decommission the Blyth Offshore Wind Farm. Therefore, the statement of comprehensive income has been prepared on the basis that all operations are discontinued.

There were no items of other comprehensive income.

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

RWE Renewables UK Blyth Limited is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The registered office is Windmill Hill Business Park, Whitehill Way, Swindon, Wiltshire, United Kingdom, SN5 6PB. The company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Directors' report.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 101, ‘Reduced Disclosure Framework’ (FRS 101) and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006. The company previously presented the primary statements following the formats as prescribed by the Companies Act. During the year, the company changed its accounting policy in respect of presenting financial statements to follow the primary statement formats as prescribed in IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The company believes the new policy is preferable as it more closely aligns the accounting with the treatment by its parent company and will aid comparability. This change in classification has been accounted for retrospectively and comparative information has been restated.

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. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

As permitted by FRS 101, the company has taken advantage of the relevant disclosure exemptions from the list below that are available under that standard in relation to share based payments, financial instruments, capital management, presentation of a cash flow statement, presentation of comparative information in respect of certain assets, standards not yet effective, impairment of assets, business combinations, discontinued operations, related party transactions, revenue from contracts with customers and leases.

The directors decided on 20 December 2017 to decommission the site and all offshore decommissioning works were completed during 2019, however, the remaining onshore decommissioning activities were delayed due to COVID-19 and for administrative reasons. The remaining onshore decommissioning works are expected to be completed during 2026. Following settlement and termination of any remaining contracts, it is anticipated that the company will cease to trade during 2026.  Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting is no longer considered appropriate as at 31 December 2024 which is consistent with the prior year.true

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Financial assets are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are classified into specified categories, depending on the nature and purpose of the financial assets.

At initial recognition, financial assets classified as fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value and any transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets not classified as fair value through profit and loss are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs.

Financial instruments are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost where the objective is to hold these assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. They arise principally from the provision of goods and services to customers (eg trade receivables). They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to their acquisition or issue, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less provision for impairment where necessary.

Financial assets, other than those measured at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows of the investment have been affected.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables – see note 10.

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.

The company recognises financial debt when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as either 'financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss' or 'other financial liabilities'.

Other financial liabilities, including borrowings, trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

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

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised through profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Deferred income tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balance on a net basis.

A provision is made for the decommissioning of RWE Renewables UK Blyth Limited based on an assessment of the current cost of decommissioning. All offshore decommissioning works were completed during 2019. The remaining onshore decommissioning activities were delayed due to COVID-19 and for administrative reasons. The decommissioning works are expected to be completed during 2026.

Provisions for decommissioning are recognised in full when the related facilities are constructed. A corresponding amount equivalent to the provision is also recognised as part of the cost of the related plant and equipment. The amount recognised is the estimated cost of decommissioning, discounted to its net present value, and is reassessed each year in accordance with local conditions and requirements. Changes in the estimated timing of decommissioning costs estimates are dealt with prospectively by recording an adjustment to the provision, and a corresponding adjustment to profit and loss. The unwinding of the discount on the decommissioning provision is included as a finance cost.

At inception, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease within the scope of IFRS 16. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Where a tangible asset is acquired through a lease, the company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets are included within property, plant and equipment.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date plus any initial direct costs and an estimate of the cost of obligations to dismantle, remove, refurbish or restore the underlying asset and the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of other property, plant and equipment. The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, and the cost of any options that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, such as the exercise price under a purchase option, lease payments in an optional renewal period, or penalties for early termination of a lease.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate; the company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or the company's assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less, or for leases of low-value assets including IT equipment. The payments associated with these leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

There are no amendments to accounting standards, or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the year ended 31 December 2024 that have had a material impact on the company’s financial statements.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.

Amounts used in recording a provision for decommissioning of wind farms are estimates based on current legal and constructive requirements. Due to changes in relation to these items, the future actual cash outflows in relation to decommissioning are likely to differ in practice. To reflect the effects due to changes in legislation, requirements and technology and price levels, the carrying amounts of decommissioning provisions are reviewed on a regular basis. The effects of changes in estimates do not give rise to prior year adjustments and are dealt with prospectively over the estimated remaining useful lives for each wind farm. While the company uses its best estimates and judgement, actual results could differ from these estimates. In estimating decommissioning provisions, the company applied an annual average inflation rate of 3.68% (2023: 3.85%) and an average annual discount rate of 4.25% (2023: not discounted).

Sensitivity analysis:

An increase in the inflation rate of 25 basis points would lead to an increase in the decommissioning provision and wind farm cost of £16k, and a decrease in the inflation rate of 25 basis points would lead to a decrease of £15k

An increase in the discount rate of 25 basis points would lead to a decrease in the decommissioning provision and wind farm cost of £7k, and a decrease in the discount rate of 25 basis points would lead to an increase of £7k

An increase of 10.00% in the cost estimate for decommissioning would lead to an increase in the decommissioning provision and wind farm cost of £140k, and a decrease of 10.00% would lead to a decrease of £140k.

No fees were paid to the auditor for non-audit services.

The audit fees for the prior year were borne by another group company and not recharged.

The company has no employees for the year under review (2023: none).

The directors do not receive any remuneration from the company in respect of their services to the company. Instead, they are employed and paid by another related entity, RWE Renewables Management UK Limited. Due to the nature of the services provided and the number of entities to which it relates, it is not possible to meaningfully allocate the directors’ remuneration in respect of qualifying services to the company.

The tax charge for the year is higher than the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK (2023: higher than the standard rate of corporation tax in the UK) of 25.00% (2023: 23.52%).

The charge for the year can be reconciled to the loss per the statement of comprehensive income as follows:

Pillar Two income taxes

The company has applied the temporary exception, introduced in May 2023, from the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12, so that the company neither recognises nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The impact of Pillar Two legislation is not expected to be material.

Group relief tax disclosures:

The group includes a number of companies, including the parent company, which are part of a tax group for certain aspects of the tax legislation. One of these aspects relates to group relief whereby current tax liabilities can be offset by current losses arising in other companies within the same tax group.  Amounts payable for group relief are within the current tax disclosures.

The company's total current tax charge for the year is shown above and comprises £5k (2023: £11k) in relation to group relief payable.

£16k (2023: £11k) of the current tax liability, as shown on the statement of financial position represents amounts due to fellow group undertakings in relation to group relief.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

The company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime or 12 months expected loss allowance for all receivables and contract assets depending on the change in the credit rating of the organisation being assessed. Expected credit losses on related party receivables are considered insignificant to the company.

Included in amounts owed by parent undertakings is an unsecured £1,050k (2023: £1,066k) loan repayable within one year from RWE AG. Interest is charged at the monthly SONIA average rate (comparable rate for other currencies) less 10 basis points except where the interest rate is negative and then it is a fixed rate of 0.00%.

Trade and other payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade and other payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade and other payables are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Included in amounts owed to parent undertakings is an unsecured £1k (2023: £nil) loan repayable within one year to RWE AG. Interest is charged at the monthly SONIA average rate (comparable rate for other currencies) plus 50 basis points except where the interest rate is negative and then it is a fixed rate of 0.50%.

The remaining amounts owed to parent undertakings are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand.

Lease liabilities are classified based on the amounts that are expected to be settled within the next 12 months and after more than 12 months from the reporting date, as follows:

As the useful life of the right-of-use assets is less than the lease term due to the offshore assets having been decommissioned in 2019 no right-of-use assets are recognised.

Total cash outflow for leases was £20k (2023: £18k).

The provision for the decommissioning of the wind farm represents the net present value of the company’s best estimate of the costs to decommission the wind farm at the end of its useful life. The provision has been discounted to its present value at 4.25% (2023: not discounted).

The company has taken advantage of the exemption available under FRS 101 not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries of RWE AG.

The company's immediate parent is RWE Renewables UK Limited. The registered address of the immediate parent is Windmill Hill Business Park, Whitehill Way, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN56PB.

The ultimate parent company and controlling party is RWE AG, a company incorporated in Germany. Copies of RWE AG's financial statements are available upon request from RWE AG, RWE Platz 1, 45141 Essen, Germany.

The most senior parent entity producing publicly available financial statements is RWE AG.

The following are the parents of the smallest and largest groups in which these financial statements are consolidated, for which the country of incorporation and address of the registered office are disclosed above:
