COVID-19 - impact on trading performance
The pandemic continued throughout the period since the end of our last
financial year but has not materially impacted our overall trading performance
even though COVID-19 cases have remained relatively high. It has however
influenced comparisons with the same trading period in the last financial
year. In our Energy business we saw lower unit sales, and although the
year-on-year fall is due largely to milder weather, there is an element
attributable to a decrease in domestic consumption associated with less
home-working, than in the same period last year. Our Retail business has also
seen revenue fall from record levels as the trading position has normalised
with customers starting to travel more widely resulting in spending power
returning to pre-COVID levels.
Energy - security of supply and price volatility
In our 2021 Annual Report we highlighted the escalation of political issues
between the EU and the UK on fishing rights between Jersey and France. This
tension appears to have largely dissipated for the moment, but we maintain a
watching brief as it has potential to re-surface in the future. We saw
unprecedented volatility in energy markets in the second half of 2021 and this
has further intensified throughout 2022 with the Russian invasion of Ukraine
exacerbating uncertainty and prolonging high prices. We continue to monitor
developments on both security of supply and volatility in energy markets. We
have strong relationships with our French partners, EDF (as supplier) and RTE
(as network operator) that span more than 35 years and the Company benefits
from legal and contractual arrangements which cover imported electricity
supplies to the end of 2027.
Hedging of electricity and foreign exchange, and customer tariffs
We continue to focus on delivering secure, low-carbon electricity supplies and
our goal is to maintain relative stability in customer tariffs, despite
volatility in both European wholesale electricity and foreign exchange
markets. This is however extremely challenging in the current climate. Our
electricity purchases are materially, but not fully, hedged for the period
2022-24. We also have around one third of our expected 2025-27 requirements
hedged at largely fixed prices. As these are contractually denominated in the
Euro, we also enter into forward foreign currency contracts, on a three-year
rolling basis, to reduce the volatility on our cost base, and to aid tariff
planning. In January 2022 we implemented a 4% rise in customer tariffs.
Given the continued upward pressure on wholesale prices flowing into costs, we
have recently announced a 5% tariff increase from 1 July 2022 and an intention
to implement a further 5% rise from 1 January 2023. Even with these rises, the
prices payable by our customers continue to benchmark well against other
jurisdictions. From 1 April 2022, the "default maximum tariff" applied by
Ofgem (the UK electricity regulator) to cap domestic prices payable in the UK
is set at a level that is nearly double the current average standard domestic
tariff in Jersey, and this UK default maximum tariff is expected to materially
rise again from 1 October 2022. Other UK Islands are also implementing
material rises in customer tariffs with the Isle of Man having instigated a
15% increase on 1 April 2022 and a further 15% rise from 1 July 2022. Guernsey
Electricity has also announced that they will increase electricity tariffs by
9% from the beginning of July 2022, subject to regulatory approval.
Overall trading performance in the 6 months to 31 March
Group revenue, at £65.0m, was 3% lower for the first half of 2022 compared
with £67.1m for the same period last year mainly due to a fall in both Energy
and Retail revenue. Profit before tax at £7.0m was £3.5m lower than 2021
primarily due to a material fall in profit in our Energy business. Cost of
sales at £42.9m was £1.1m higher than last year with the rise in wholesale
energy costs being the main factor. Operating expenses at £14.4m were £0.3m
higher than last year due mainly to general inflationary pressures. The
taxation charge in the period of £1.5m was £0.7m lower than last year due to
decreased profits. Earnings per share, at 17.78p, were below 27.00p in 2021
due to lower profits. Net cash on the balance sheet, which comprises
borrowings less cash and cash equivalents, at 31 March 2022, was £13.1m
compared with £5.9m at this time last year (and £13.1m of net cash at our
last year end on 30 September 2021).
Energy performance
Unit sales of electricity fell 4% from 375m to 359m kWh, compared with the
same period last year. We experienced milder weather in the first half of this
financial year, with the temperature in all months being above the long-term
average and five months being warmer than the corresponding period in the
previous year. There was also lower domestic consumption associated with less
home-working linked to the pandemic compared with last year. Revenue in our
Energy business at £50.8m was £1.2m lower than in 2021 with the year-on-year
decrease in unit sales more than offsetting the 4% tariff rise in January
2022. Operating profit at £5.9m was £3.2m lower than the corresponding
period last year due to the decreased revenue and higher costs, including
increased wholesale import prices, recruitment of new employees, and other
inflationary pressures. We imported 98% of our on-island requirement from
France and 2% from the Energy from Waste plant, owned by the Government of
Jersey. Only 0.2% (less than 1m units) of electricity was generated in Jersey
using our traditional oil-fired plant (which is run during testing regimes)
and we also saw a rising trend in our solar generation albeit still at a low
level compared with overall requirements. These importation and generation
levels were materially consistent with the same period last year albeit the
imports from the Energy from Waste plant were around half the normal level as
maintenance work was being performed for an extended time in this period.
Non-Energy performance
Year-on-year revenue in our Powerhouse retail business, fell by 11% to £9.5m
(2021: £10.7m) and profits fell by £0.4m to £0.7m as the business returned
to more normalised levels of trading post last year's strong trading
performance which was associated with factors including a substantial
proportion of customers having more disposable income due to COVID-19 travel
restrictions. Profit from our Property portfolio at £0.7m was £0.1m lower
than last year, due to additional maintenance costs. JEBS, our building
services unit, saw external revenue rise £0.2m to £1.8m and profitability
rise to £0.1m from breakeven level last year. Our remaining business units
produced profits of £0.3m at the same level as 2021.
Liquidity and cashflow
No net cash was generated in the period (2021: £0.4m) post the continued
investment in infrastructure of £6.0m (2021: £4.8m). The net cash figure of
£5.9m at 31 March 2021 moved to a net cash figure of £13.1m at 31 March 2022
(being at the same level as 30 September 2021). Net cash consists of £30.0m
of long-term debt offset by cash and cash equivalents of £43.1m.
Pension scheme
The defined benefit pension scheme surplus (without deduction of deferred tax)
on our balance sheet at 31 March 2022 stood at £22.0m, compared with a
surplus of £18.8m at 30 September 2021 (and a surplus of £17.1m at 31 March
2021). Since the last financial year end, scheme liabilities have materially
decreased by approximately £13m (to £129m). This fall was primarily due to
an increase to the discount rate assumptions from 2.1% at the last financial
year end to 2.8% at 31 March 2022 associated with a rise in UK AA corporate
bond yields in the interim. Assets in the Scheme fell by around £10m (to
£151m). The defined benefit scheme has been closed to new members since 2013
and the next triennial valuation of the scheme, as at 31 December 2021, is
currently being performed by Aon and the results will be reported in our 2022
Annual Report.
Dividend
Your Board proposes to pay an interim net dividend for 2022 of 7.60p (2021:
7.20p). As stated in previous years, we continue to aim to deliver sustained
real growth each year over the medium-term. The final dividend for 2021 of
10.20p, paid in late March in respect of the last financial year, was an
increase of 5% on the previous year.
Risk and outlook
The principal risks and uncertainties identified in our last Annual Report,
issued in January 2022, have not materially altered in the interim period. We,
however, highlighted earlier in this report, the current unprecedented
volatility in energy markets. This continues to be closely monitored by the
Board as this adds unpredictability into the price we will pay for any
unhedged elements of our future electricity costs. Your Board is satisfied
that Jersey Electricity plc has sufficient resources to continue in operation
for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date
of approval of this report. Accordingly, we continue to adopt the going
concern basis in preparing the condensed financial statements.
Responsibility statement
We confirm to the best of our knowledge:
(a) the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in
accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting';
(b) the Interim Directors Statement includes a fair review of the
information required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rule DTR 4.2.7R
(indication of important events during the first six months and description of
principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year);
and
(c) the Interim Directors Statement includes a fair review of the
information required by the Disclosure and Transparency Rule DTR 4.2.8R
(disclosure of related party transactions and changes therein); and
this half yearly interim report looks at certain forward looking statements
with respect to the operations, performance and financial condition of the
Group. By their nature, these statements involve uncertainty since future
events and circumstances can cause results and developments to differ
materially from those anticipated.The forward-looking statements reflect
knowledge and information available at the date of preparation of this half
yearly financial report and the Company undertakes no obligation to update
these forward-looking statements. Nothing in this half yearly financial report
should be construed as a profit forecast.

1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The interim accounts for the six months ended 31 March 2022 have
been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the 30
September 2021 annual report and accounts using accounting policies consistent
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU
and in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'. There have been
no changes to accounting standards during the current financial period that
has impacted the disclosures in these financial statements and the full year
financial statements that will be prepared for 30 September 2022.
Jersey Electricity plc has considerable financial resources and,
as a consequence, the directors believe that the Group is well placed to
manage its business risks successfully despite the current uncertain economic
outlook. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable
future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the annual financial statements.
Prior year adjustment
As disclosed in the 30 September 2021 annual report and in
accordance with IAS 8, £0.9m was written off and treated as a prior year
adjustment against the 2019 financial year. Accordingly, the opening balances
of retained earnings disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in
Equity align with the revised opening balances shown in the 2021 annual
report.

All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are
categorised within the fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy is based on the
underlying assumptions used to determine the fair value measurement as a whole
and is categorised as follows:
Level 1 financial instruments are those with values that are immediately
comparable to quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 financial instruments are those with values that are determined using
valuation techniques for which the basic assumptions used to calculate fair
value are directly or indirectly observable (such as readily available market
prices).
Level 3 financial instruments are shown at values that are determined by
assumptions that are not based on observable market data (unobservable
inputs).
The derivative contracts for foreign currency shown above are classified as
level 2 financial instruments and are valued based on using a discounted cash
flow valuation technique. Future cash flows are estimated based on forward
exchange rates (from observable forward exchange rates at the end of the
reporting period) and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that
reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.
