The directors have also made enquiries with the directors of the parent undertaking, Grid Holdco 1 Limited, with regards to the repayment of the loan the company has with it. As detailed in note 12, the loan is repayable on demand of the lender. The directors understand that this will not be called unless the company has the ability to make the repayment.
