STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 1 -
The directors present the Strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Review of the business
The Gwynt y Môr offshore wind farm consists of 160 turbines, which are situated off the North Wales coast. The wind farm has an installed capacity of 576MW. The wind farm has been fully operational since 2017 the company continued to participate in the operation of the wind farm.
During the year, the company’s share of the wind farm generated 161 GWh (2024: 150 GWh). The average achieved electricity price was £60.32 per MWh (2024: £53.11 per MWh). Although in 2025 there were unfavourable wind conditions compared to 2024, this was offset by higher availability levels in 2025 due to a fault developing with the wind farm in Q3 2024. The wind farm was restored to full capacity during the year following repairs to one of the export cables.
Profit increased during the year due to an increase in revenue of 19% compared to the previous year, this was offset by a 89% reduction in other operating income due to the receipt of £2,880k of insurance proceeds in the previous year.
Net assets have increased due to accumulated profits that have increased the retained earnings balance by £7,147k (2024: £4,798k).
Net current assets increased largely because of a £10,816k rise in the in-house cash account balance during the year. This was offset by a £734k decrease in corporation tax recoverable and a £153k increase in current tax liabilities.
The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company and how the company mitigates these risks are as follows:
Political and regulatory
Risks
Mitigation
RWE RENEWABLES GYM 3 LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 2 -
Current political and market risks
Significant economic uncertainty exists resulting from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Uncertainty concerning the export of oil, gas and other commodities from the Persian Gulf is expected to lead to a global increase in inflation. The directors anticipate that this will adversely affect the prices at which the company procures goods and services, including through index-linked contracts, and have factored this into the business plan and forecasts. Although it is not possible to anticipate the development of the conflict and its potential consequences, the company is not currently exposed to significant supply chain risks. The directors will continue to monitor developments and will carefully consider the risks and appropriate mitigation strategies when awarding future contracts.
Cyber security
Risks
Mitigation
The company maintains high standards of cyber-security and has established, formalised processes which prevent, deter and limit the impact from cyber-attacks. As part of the RWE group the company is overseen by the group’s information security office who organises regular, mandatory, training, for all colleagues. Key controls are also in place to prevent cyber security risks as far as possible.
Availability and price
Risks
Average wind speeds falling significantly below expectations leading to a reduction in revenues and cash flow;
A medium- to long-term reduction in electricity prices leading to reduced profitability;
Occurrence of technical faults and physical degradation of the wind farm asset leading to reduced generation availability and increased rectification costs;
Shortages of labour or materials, or difficulties within the supply chain leading to a lack of essential parts needed to maintain the wind farm;
An increase in the price of materials, components and consumables needed to maintain the wind farm leading to a reduction in profitability; and
Impacts of climate change adversely affecting the availability and operations of the wind farm, and/or reducing the useful economic life of the wind farm asset.
Mitigation
The wind farm’s remaining economic life is 11 years, and therefore short-term fluctuations in generated volumes and electricity prices are expected to have little impact on its lifetime profitability. Long-term changes in wind speeds and long-term price forecasts are monitored regularly; and
Availability risk is managed using availability incentives and by monitoring the operational efficiency and physical conditions of the wind farm, taking remedial action where required. The company and its service provider maintain relationships with multiple suppliers for turbine components in order to reduce key supplier risk.
There are no significant issues around cash flow, debt recovery, and overall profitability arising from the above mentioned risks and therefore it is appropriate to conclude these are not key risks to the company.
The directors actively monitor and manage the principal risks above and do not currently foresee a significant impact to the company’s cash flow or profitability as a result of these risks.

The directors present their Annual Report and the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal activities
The principal activity of the company continued to be that of the operation of the Gwynt y Môr offshore wind farm, which is situated off the North Wales coast.
Results and dividends
The results for the year are set out on page 10.
No ordinary dividends were paid during the year (2024: £nil). The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:
D Allen-Baines
(Appointed 1 January 2026)
M Bergot
C Forbes
B Furlong
(Resigned 31 December 2025)
D Hughes

J McKenzie
(Resigned 31 December 2025)
V Powell
(Appointed 1 January 2026)
Qualifying third party indemnity provisions
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.
Directors' insurance
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.
Financial instruments
Financial risk management
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.
Liquidity and cash flow risk
The company is a profitable and cash generating business. 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.
Interest rate risk
The company’s activities expose it to interest rate risk. The company’s risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the company’s financial performance arising from the unpredictability of financial markets.
Currency risk
The company's exposure to currency risk is limited to foreign exchange fluctuations on foreign denominated bank accounts.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 5 -
Credit risk
The company has no significant exposure to credit risk.
Price risk
The company's activities expose it to price risk arising from the sale of electricity and Renewables Obligations Certificates (ROCs). The directors monitor the effects of changes to electricity and ROC prices and consider that this risk is acceptable to the business at the individual entity level.
Future developments
The company will continue to participate in the operation of the Gwynt y Môr wind farm in 2026 and over the expected useful life of the wind farm assets.
Independent auditor
The auditor, Deloitte LLP, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.
Section 172(1) statement - business relationships
The company has chosen in accordance with Companies Act 2006, s.414C(11) to set out in the company's Strategic report information required by Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Sch. 7 to be contained in the Directors' report. It has done so in respect of engagement with suppliers, customers and others in a business relationship with the company.
Directors' confirmations
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.
Going Concern
The directors have fully considered the risks and uncertainties of the company’s cash flow forecasts and projections.
The going concern basis is considered to be appropriate by the directors as the company is in a net current asset position and financial obligations are forecast to be covered by operational cash flows.
On this basis, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from date of signing. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.
Medium-sized companies exemption
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the medium-sized companies exemption.

DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
- 6 -
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 101 “Reduced Disclosure Framework”. Under company law the 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 these financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed; 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 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. They are also 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 responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF RWE RENEWABLES GYM 3 LIMITED

Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements of RWE Renewables GYM 3 Limited (the ‘company’):
give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit 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 22.
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).
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.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
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.

Responsibilities of directors
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.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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, Ofgem regulations and UK tax legislation; and
did 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 protections regulations.
We discussed among the audit engagement team, including relevant internal specialists such as IT and Analytics 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.
RWE RENEWABLES GYM 3 LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF RWE RENEWABLES GYM 3 LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 9 -
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 and Ofgem.
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 strategic report and the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the strategic report and the directors’ report have 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 strategic report or the directors’ report.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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.
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.
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.

1.2
Going concern
The directors have fully considered the risks and uncertainties of the company's cash flow forecasts and projections.true
The going concern basis is considered to be appropriate by the directors as the company is in a net current asset position and financial obligations are forecast to be covered by operational cash flows.
On this basis, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from date of signing. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.
1.3
Revenue
Revenue recognised consists of revenue from contracts with customers recognised in line with IFRS 15.
Revenue from contracts with customers comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of the invoiced and accrued value of generated electricity, Renewable Obligations Certificates (ROCs) and Renewables Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs).
Revenue represents income from power purchase and ROC and REGO transfer agreements relating to the generation of electricity from wind farm sites. Revenue comprises the value of units of electricity, ROCs and REGOs supplied during the year and is recognised when the performance obligation has been satisfied, which is when the electricity is delivered to the customer. Units of electricity are determined by energy volumes recorded on the wind farm meters and market settlement systems. ROCs and REGOs granted to the company are recognised when eligible electricity is generated and is immediately transferable to the customer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer (transaction price) and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, i.e. VAT. Variable consideration is recognised in revenue when it is highly probable that the revenue will not be reversed in subsequent periods. The consideration for the power is due when the actual power is delivered to the customer.
Where electricity, ROCs or REGOs are transferred to the customer before the customer pays consideration, or before payment is due, contract assets are recognised. Contract assets are included in the statement of financial position and represent the right to consideration for goods delivered.
Revenue is generated entirely within the United Kingdom from the principal activity of the company.
Other operating income
Other operating income comprises compensation related to goods and services provided by the company and income which is incidental to the company’s principal business activities.
1.4
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of property, plant and equipment includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided on a straight line basis to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of the assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic life as follows:
Wind farm

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 recognised in the income statement.
Right-of-use assets capitalised under the asset classifications above are depreciated at the shorter of the lease term or expected useful life of the underlying asset.
1.5
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value-in-use. In assessing value-in-use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. There was no impairment charge recognised in the current period.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
1.6
Inventories
Inventories relate to spare parts to be used in the operation and maintenance of the wind farm. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost incurred in bringing each product to its present location and condition, or net realisable value.
Cost is calculated using the weighted average price method.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.7
Cash and cash equivalents
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.
1.8
Financial assets
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 assets held at amortised cost
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 (e.g. 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.
Impairment of financial assets
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 13.
Derecognition of financial assets
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.
1.9
Financial liabilities
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
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.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.
1.10
Equity instruments
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.
1.11
Taxation
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.
Current tax
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 tax
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.
1.12
Provisions
A provision is made for the decommissioning of the company assets based on an assessment of the current cost of decommissioning. Decommissioning is expected to take place in 2037.
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 the wind farm cost. The unwinding of the discount on the decommissioning provision is included as a finance cost.
1.13
Leases
As lessee
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 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 adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability and applies the relevant cost model, fair value model or revaluation model as set out within the accounting policies for the applicable asset class. Where the cost model is applied, the asset is depreciated 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, and is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any.
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.

- 18 -
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is reassessed at each financial period end to reflect lease modifications and any changes to the factors considered at initial measurement, as set out above. 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.
1.14
Foreign exchange
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.
2
Adoption of new and revised standards and changes in accounting policies
There are no amendments to accounting standards, or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the year ended 31 December 2025 that have had a material impact on the company’s financial statements.
3
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
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.
Renewable Obligation Certificate (ROC) recycle revenue (estimate)
The company has accrued for Renewables Obligation Certificates ('ROC') recycle revenue in the year. There is a high degree of estimation involved when accruing for expected ROC recycle revenue. The key estimate surrounds the unit price, which isn’t known until after the compliance period. In order to determine the relevant revenue for each financial year, management use an estimate for ROC prices provided by an independent energy expert consulting company, which takes into account expected generation for the UK. If the ROC recycle unit price increased or decreased by £1 this would lead to an increase or decrease in revenue of £219k.

Decommissioning provision (estimate)
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 2.50% (2024: 2.75%) and an average annual discount rate of 4.50% (2024: 4.75%).
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 £552k (2024: £540k), and a decrease in the inflation rate of 25 basis points would lead to a decrease of £530k (2024: £519k).
An increase in the discount rate of 25 basis points would lead to a decrease in the decommissioning provision and wind farm cost of £354k (2024: £375k), and a decrease in the discount rate of 25 basis points would lead to an increase of £364k (2024: £387k).
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 £1,290k (2024: £1,265k), and a decrease of 10.00% would lead to a decrease of £1,290k (2024: £1,265k).

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/(receivable) for group relief are within the current tax disclosures.
The company's total current tax charge for the year is shown above and comprises £858k (2024: £732k receivable) in relation to group relief payable.
£124k (2024: £1,345k corporation tax recoverable, as shown in note 13) 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. Amounts owed by fellow group undertakings include £10,736k (2024: £7,082k) accrued in respect of contract assets for the sale of Renewables Obligation Certificates ('ROC'). Expected credit losses on ROCs receivables are considered insignificant to the company.
Included in amounts owed by parent undertakings is an unsecured £36,449k (2024: £25,633k) loan repayable within one year from RWE AG. Interest is charged at the monthly SONIA average rate less 10 basis points except where the interest rate is negative and then it is a fixed rate of 0.00%.
The remaining amounts owed by parent undertakings, fellow group undertakings and joint venture partners are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand.
