Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.
The Company early adopted the amendments to FRS 102 arising from the Periodic Review 2024 during the year ended 31 March 2025. This did not have an impact on the financial statements.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The Company has net current liabilities of £11,943,437 (2025 - £12,468,326). The Company's net current liability position is a result of the outstanding infrastructure loans owed to a group company and related party (together “the ultimate shareholders”). At the period end, there are unsecured loans of £16,812,348 (2025 - £16,689,791) from the ultimate shareholders. These loans are repayable on demand by request of the lender.
The Directors have received confirmation through a letter of intent from the ultimate shareholders that they will not seek repayment of part or all of any loan, for at least twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements, where to do so would place the Company in a position where it could not continue to trade as a going concern.
The Directors of the Company have assessed the future cash flow forecasts at the balance sheet date and taken into consideration the letter of intent received from the ultimate shareholders. Based on this assessment, the Directors have concluded it is appropriate to use the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Revenue recognition
Generation of gas / electricity
Revenue from the sale of gas and electricity is recognised in the period in which it is generated based on contractual terms that exist. Any amounts generated but not billed at the balance sheet date are recognised as revenue and included in debtors as accrued income.
Sale of Green Gas Certificates
As part of the company’s operations, they generate Green Gas Certificates. Revenue from the sale of Green Gas Certificates is recognised as they are generated where a contract exists with a third party to acquire. Where, at the balance sheet date, no contract exists to purchase, Green Gas Certificates are held in stock at an approximation of their cost to generate.
Tax
Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Assets under construction are held at cost until they are ready for use. Once ready for use, assets are transferred into the relevant category and are held at cost less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Financial instruments
Classification
• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Loans with group companies and related parties; and
• Cash and bank balances.
All financial instruments are classified as basic.
Recognition and measurement
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.
Except for loans with group companies and related parties, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.
Loans with group companies and related parties are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Key accounting judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty
Fixed assets and other non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment at each reporting date. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of an asset's net selling price and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairments, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. No impairment charge has been recognised at the year end (2025 - £Nil).
