Hindlip - What PK doesn't tell you13 Jan 2026 08:07
I've posted this before.
Hindlip at 7.1MW is relatively cheap at £5.5m to build (plus fees to buy the site and early work) to meet which it has to borrow £4.5m at 10% from Powertree, who also puts up £0.5m for 75% of the shares, leaving Mast to put up only 25% - with Powertree in full control.
On 7.1 MW Hindlip will make about £2.1m annual revenue worth about £600,000 profit if lucky, although capacity payments will earn another £450,000 annually.
But to repay the loan over the usual 8 years will take £840,000 pa. So at best even with capacity payments Mast will get 25% of a miniscule £200,000 annual cash surplus. And that only after Powertree declares it as a dividend. ie probably not until after its 2026-27 financial year.
Wonder why PK doesn't tell us this ?
