From the administrators' statement
Two companies within the Group, EFW21 Renewable Energy Ltd and EFW21 Renewable Energy (Ireland) Ltd (‘the P1 Companies’), had previously entered into a Part 9 of the Irish Companies Act 2014 (as amended) Scheme of Arrangement, sanctioned by the Irish High Court in 2023 (‘the Scheme’).
Following the implementation of the Scheme, EFW 21 Renewable Energy (Project 2) Ltd and EFW 21 Renewable Energy (Project 2) Ireland Ltd (both in liquidation) (together ‘the P2 Companies”) acted as the treasury companies for the Group and held the Group’s entire working capital reserve.
On 1 December 2025, petitions to wind up the P2 Companies were presented to the Irish High Court, by a minority group of investors (‘the Petitions’). As a result of this, the P2 Companies’ access to their working capital of approx. £11m was effectively frozen.
