## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Reference and administrative details** 

Legal and administrative information is set out on page 1 and forms part of this report. 

## **Establishment and legal structure** 

The Energy Institute (EI) was incorporated by Royal Charter on 1 July 2003 and is a registered charity, number 1097899. The EI is governed in accordance with the Royal Charter and Byelaws. The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordanc 

Charities SORP second edition, effective 1st January 2019), and other relevant statutory requirements. 

## **Governance** 

The Council of the EI is its governing body and consists of elected and appointed members of the EI. 

The Council of the EI has the following membership: 

- the President, the Honorary Secretary and the Honorary Treasurer other such officers as the EI may determine 

- up to 6 elected individual members of the EI 

- up to 3 individuals co-opted by Council 

- up to 3 individual members of the EI, nominated by Branches 

The Chief Executive attends meetings of Council in a non-voting capacity. Members are elected or appointed to the Council and remain so until their term of office, determined by Council regulations, concludes. The members of Council at the date of this report are shown on page 1. All served throughout the year with the exceptions of Lisa Rebora FEI and Michael Howie AMEI who were appointed to Council at the AGM on 6 July 2022. Sinead Obeng AMEI and Steve Holliday FREng FEI retired from Council at the AGM on 6 July 2022 

Gender diversity is now 54%:46% female, male respectively. Ethnic diversity is now 15% (2021: 23%) of board membership. 

Members of the Council are also the trustees in accordance with charity law and provide strategic direction for the Charity. Trustees are appointed and elected via various routes and all new members undergo a comprehensive induction and where appropriate external trustee training is also provided. 

The Council has the power (under Bye-law 45) to establish, regulate and dissolve committees and delegate its powers and functions (other than the power to make regulations or its non-delegable powers as a body of trustees) to such committees. Three mandatory committees operate and report quarterly to Council, namely Finance and Audit, Human Resources and Professional Affairs. The Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee also reports to Council and is directly represented via the co-option of its Chair to Council. Similarly, the Energy Advisory Panel reports to Council and is chaired by a member of Council. 

EI is managed on a day-to-day basis by the Chief Executive assisted by staff of appropriate qualification and experience. The Council monitors performance on a quarterly basis. 

responsible manner for their contribution to the success of the EI and provided with appropriate incentives to encourage enhanced performance.  It is the intention of the EI to reward staff in a way which ensures it attracts and retains the right skills to have the greatest impact in delivering its charitable objectives. In setting an appropriate salary structure the EI takes account of information on movements in prices and salaries in central London; salaries in the charity and

## **Major risks** 

Council has identified and reviewed the major risks to which the EI is exposed. Council is satisfied that appropriate systems have been implemented to mitigate those risks. 

In relation to 2023 planned activities, Council has identified the following priority risks: 

Revenue control and cashflow remains a key risk due to the downturn in the financial markets and inflation driving up costs. The senior leadership team will closely monitor main revenue streams, such as membership, events and training, to ensure costs are being controlled in line with any forecasted drop in income. For 2023, 

events programme has been developed which will align with our unique energy wide research topics and specialisms so not to compete with commercially crowded event topics. 

Assessing the risks around the , and the associated investment plan, is vital to ensuring a successful outcome. Council reviewed 2023 plans and the associated risks of not delivering key objectives, attracting talent to drive strategic ambitions and return on investment. Alongside existing plans, an opportunity was presented at the end of 2022, aligning with a key strategic theme, a new activity which presented a new set of risks to access. A set of conditions were set to ensure financial and operational risks were minimised before agreeing to take on a well-regarded industry statistical review of world energy. 

After much consideration and with risks assessed, the launch of New Energy World member magazine was launched in 2022, providing a weekly digital magazine and most recently a quarterly printed compendium for professional members who prefer a hard copy version. Given this was a significant change after a long period of having two magazines, we continue to assess any risks to member satisfaction by monitoring digital open rates and feedback from members. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

Members of Council recognise their responsibilities towards public benefit under the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and have had regard to the guidance from the Charity Commission on public benefit. This requirement is reflected in the Objects of the EI, set out below. The benefits are clear and identifiable. They are available to a wide section of the public who are interested in energy and its implications for society, whilst the broader public benefits derive from the development of safe, secure and a more sustainable supply and use of energy in a way that enables affordable development. These benefits are set out within the appropriate sections of this report. 

## **OBJECTS, AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objects of the EI are the promotion for the public benefit of the science of energy and fuels in all applications and uses, including: 

- To conduct or promote the conduct of scientific and other research, to publish useful results of such research, and to provide facilities for study, research and education; 

- To publish, produce and distribute or assist in the publication, production or distribution of films, recordings, and any form of written, printed or electronic communication and to advertise in any manner; 

- To establish and maintain libraries and collections, and provide public access to them, and to collect information whether or not on a basis restricted by agreement with the provider thereof; 

- To hold conferences, meetings and seminars and other events and to promote the reading of learned papers; 

- To encourage the undertaking of voluntary work in the interests of the EI; 

- To develop and promulgate codes of good professional practice, to prescribe standards of education, training and experience in professions or activities related to the objects and to hold examinations and other tests, and to award certificates and diplomas **:** provided that no such certificate or diploma shall purport to be issued by or under government authority, or purport to be a national qualification, without the prior approval of, or accreditation by, the appropriate department of Government and/or the appropriate devolved administration, or the appropriate regulatory body for qualifications; 

- To institute, establish and promote educational and training courses, scholarships grants, awards and prizes. 

In addition to its Royal Charter objects, which define the nature of its activities, the EI Council sets a strategy which aims members and society by accelerating a just global energy transition to net zero. 

The EI achieves this through: 

- Attracting, developing and equipping the diverse future energy workforce 

- Informing energy decision making through convening expertise and advice 

- Enabling industry to make energy lower carbon, safer, and more efficient 

The Council approves an annual business plan and budget which supports the longer-term strategy and ensures that the organisational resources required are adequate to meet its needs. The EI does not participate in any fundraising activities.

**Energy Institute    Report of the Council and Financial Statements 2022** 

## **Investment powers, policy and performance** 

The powers of Council to manage investments are specified in Bye-law 44. The Council has delegated the management of the investment portfolio to its Finance and Audit Committee. 

Its policies are: 

to employ an active investment management strategy; and 

- to hold funds required for the day-to-day running of the Energy Institute in interest-paying bank deposit accounts. 

The performance of the Energy Institute portfolio for the calendar year 2022, net of management fees, was -10.3% against a benchmark of -6.9% and compared with the ARC steady growth charity index of -9.61%. The Committee regularly reviews the performance of the investment and deposit portfolio and reports to Council on a quarterly basis. Investments are under management by Sarasin & Partners LLP. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The financial results for the EI itself are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 9. 

7,733,000 (2021: £7,178,000) and expenditure of 

£8,000,000 (2021: £7,058,000). Unrestricted income in the year increased by £650,000 to £5,975,000 (2021: £5,325,000) showing some post pandemic recovery. 

Unrestricted general reserves, excluding loss on investment, produced an operating deficit of £367,000 (2021: £11,000 surplus). The net loss on investments of £507,000 (2021: £237,000 gain) resulted in net expenditure of £874,000 (2021: £248,000 net income). After taking account of movements on restricted reserves and the designated reserves, this resulted in total net expenditure of £817,000 (2021: £391,000 net income). Actuarial gains of £966,000 (2021: £417,000) on the pension scheme contributed to a net gain in funds of £149,000 (2021: £808,000) for the year. 

At the end of 2022, the EI group had net assets of £10,766,000 (2021: £10,617,000), analysed in the balance sheet set out on page 11. The primary asset is the long leasehold of the premises at 61 New Cavendish Street. 

Listed investments plus cash and bank deposits totalled £4,784,000 (2021: £5,339,000) at the end of 2022, sufficient to There was an increase of £902,000 (2021: £354,000 decrease) in the estimated surplus on the pension plan from 2022, this is reflected in the balance sheet under the Financial Reporting Standard 102 as a pension plan surplus of £696,000 (2021: deficit £206,000). 

## **Operational reserves** 

The Energy 22 totalled £905,000 (2021: £1,814,000), representing total unrestricted funds of £7,796,000 (2021: £7,807,000) less those held in tangible fixed assets of £6,114,000 (2021: £6,088,000), those designated for particular projects or purposes of £81,000 (2021: £111,000) and excluding the pension reserve surplus of £696,000 (2021: deficit £206,000). 

The Council has reviewed the level of free reserves required by the Institute and considered the following: 

- The Institute is budgeting breakeven in 2023 which includes investments made in 2022, there is a further growth investment plan of £130,000 dependent on Q1 performance. 

- Plans and mechanisms are in place to ensure a cost reduction plan is put into action if income is not received as anticipated. 

- Cash flow forecasts highlight the cyclical pattern where the Institute has good cash reserves early in the year which is utilised over the course of the year 

- The Institute holds around £3.9m of liquid investments, approximately one third is unrestricted. This core level of investment is unlikely to change significantly in value given amounts utilised are replaced with new income received. 

Based on the factors noted above, the Council has set a policy level of free reserves of between £500,000 and £750,000 which it exceeds to enable investment for growth. 

The current levels and explanations of the purposes for designated funds are described in note 13 to the accounts. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

mes. 

Activities for 2023 will include: 

## **Attracting, developing and equipping the diverse future energy workforce** 

- The development of the membership offer as well as building the size of membership will be a focus. This includes the launch of an enhanced approach to company members, to attract their employees more directly into the EI, alongside continuing to roll out the new fellowship programme, harmonising our energy efficiency

**Energy Institute    Report of the Council and Financial Statements 2022** 

- registers, launching a new platform to enable members to engage with each other and develop special interest groups, and continued support for POWERful Women, Generation 2050, Pride in Energy and others. 

- in executive leadership in energy, delivering net zero for energy managers and senior management stakeholders, hydrogen, energy fundamentals as well as soft skills. 

## **Informing energy decision making through convening expertise and advice** 

- The annual Energy Barometer survey will this year be focused on UAE rather than UK, aiming to support engagement and membership growth in the COP28 host country. A new Energy Essentials guide on energyintensive industries and a revision to the Essentials Guide to hydrogen will be published. 

- Continued deepening of relationships in the UK policy making sphere, focused on the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, including further delivery of the Energy Fundamentals course for new civil servants. Government and regulatory relationships will also be pursued in focus geographies: Malaysia, Singapore, UAE, Bahrain and Nigeria. And we will continue to take active roles in collaborative initiatives such as Sustainable Markets Initiative, National Engineering Policy Centre and Methane Guiding Principles 

The EI conferencing programme will continue to bring professionals together, with a major focus being International Energy Week returning as a three-day conference for the first time in three years, bringing together industry lea 

Award being presented at the gala dinner. 

## **Enabling industry and consumers to make energy lower carbon, safer, and more efficient** 

- Continued growth in the technical and innovation good practice programme in support of transition technologies, in particular with funded activity on hydrogen and CCUS and a deepening relationship with IDRIC. Additional technical partners and technical company members will be sought, with a focus on companies working in the transition space, and on building global relevance in key geographies. 

- A partnership with Money Saving Expert to provide the home version of EnergyAware to the public free of change will be launched and promoted, helping consumers reduce their energy use, bills and emissions. Further commercial opportunities will be sought with corporate customers. 

Council prepares financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the EI and of the surplus or deficit of the EI for that period. In preparing those financial statements, Council is required to: 

- follow applicable accounting standards; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the EI will continue in business. 

Council is responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the EI and to enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Royal Charter and the Charities Acts. Council is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the EI and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

## **Auditor** 

A resolution proposing that Haysmacintyre LLP be re-appointed as auditor to the EI will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

**Energy Institute    Report of the Council and Financial Statements 2022** 

## **INDEPENDENT INSTITUTE** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of the Energy Institute for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Consolidated and Charity Statements of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheet, the Consolidated and Charity Cash Flow Statements and the related notes.  These financial statements have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein.  The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

31 December 2022 and of the 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further ments section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial ponsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have c the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Council. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.  We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the parent charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements** 

7 



**Energy Institute    Report of the Council and Financial Statements 2022** 

sibilities set out in the Report of the Council, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

y to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud o assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: 

Based on our understanding of the parent charity and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to management override, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011. 

the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to management override. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; 

- to prevent and detect irregularities; 

- Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting estimates 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

**Energy Institute    Report of the Council and Financial Statements 2022** 

## **Notes on the financial statements** 

## **Note 1 - Accounting Policies** 

- **a) General information** 

The Energy Institute is a body incorporated by Royal Charter and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission (charity registration no. 1097899).  The registered office address is 61 New Cavendish Street, London W1G 7AR. 

## **b) Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention as modified to include the revaluation of investments at market value, and in accordance the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (Charities SORP second edition, effective 1st January 2019) and applicable accounting standards (FRS 102). 

The Energy Institute meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **c) Basis of consolidation** 

The consolidated financial statements of the Energy Institute incorporate the accounts of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings.  The results of the subsidiary undertakings, as shown in note 7, are consolidated on a line by line basis within the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA). 

In the parent charity accounts the investment in associates is recognised at cost less provision for impairment. FRS 102 requires associated undertakings to be accounted for under the equity method of accounting where the carrying amount of the investment in the consolidated accounts.  As all profits arising from the activities of PGC are subject to gift aid donations to its shareholders, and reflected within income of the Energy Institute, any variances in the interest in associates under equity accounting is immaterial to the financial statements and therefore the investment is held at cost in both the charity and consolidated financial statements. 

## **d) Going concern** 

The impact the war in Ukraine has had on the financial markets and inflation impacting costs has meant another year of financial challenges, however this has not deterred the leadership team from executing the new strategy investment plans for future growth. Tight budgetary control will be required in 2023 with built in flexibility if revenue stream do not meet expectations. Accordingly, the trustees continue to be confident that the Institute remains a going concern and the accounts have been prepared on that basis. 

## **e) Income** 

All income is recognised on an accruals basis and excludes Value Added Tax. 

The Energy Institute generally raises invoices and sends renewals to individuals membership fees and other agreed projects before the balance sheet date. 

Government grants relate to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) income which is recognised as receivable in line with the period that the relevant expense has been incurred. 

## **f) Expenditure** 

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis and excludes the related Value Added Tax (except where the Value Added Tax is not recoverable). Resources expended are analysed according to departmental costs incurred. 

Support costs consist of central management, property, administration and governance costs.  Governance costs consist of those costs associated with meeting the statutory and compliance requirements of the charity.  Support costs are allocated to expenditure on charitable activities in accordance with the proportion of staff involved in each direct activity. 

## **g) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all assets on the straight line method at the following rates calculated to write off over their remaining lives: 

|Leasehold improvements|1.0% per annum|
|---|---|
|Plant and equipment|5.0% per annum|
|Fixtures and fittings|20.0% per annum|
|ICT assets|33.3% per annum|

**Energy Institute    Report of the Council and Financial Statements 2022** 

## **Notes on the financial statements** 

## **Note 1 - Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## **h) Investments** 

Listed investments are stated at market value. Gains and losses arising from changes in market values are included within the SOFA.  Unlisted investments are stated at cost less provision for impairment **.** 

## **i) Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **j) Financial instruments** 

The Energy Institute only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade and other receivables and payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. 

## **k) Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

## **l) Pensions** 

The Energy Institute operates a defined benefit pension plan which is closed to new entrants.  The scheme is funded with the assets held separately from the Energy Institute in separate trustee administered funds. 

The asset or liability recognised in the balance sheet is the net of the present value of the pension scheme liabilities and the fair value of the assets held in the scheme.  The current service cost of the scheme and net interest costs are charged to staff costs in the SOFA.  Actuarial gains and losses are recognised within other recognised gains and losses in the SOFA. The detailed assumptions relating to the valuations of the pension scheme assets and liabilities and movements in the year are included in Note 13. 

The Energy Institute also operates stakeholder pension plans for employees for which employer contributions are expensed in the SOFA as payable. On 1 January 2020, the Energy Institute entered into a salary sacrifice scheme agreement with the stakeholder pension scheme members. 

## **m) Foreign currency translation** 

The Energy 

denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are recognised in the SOFA. 

The trading results of overseas subsidiaries are translated into sterling at the average exchange rate for the year. The assets and liabilities of overseas undertakings are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date.  Exchange adjustments arising from the retranslation of opening net investments and from the translation of the results at average rates are recognised in the SOFA. 

## **n) Fund accounting** 

Funds held by the Energy Institute are categorised as: 

_Unrestricted general_ funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects of the Institute at the discretion of Council. 

_Unrestricted designated_ funds which have been set aside by the Council for specific purposes. 

_Restricted_ funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

**Energy Institute    Report of the Council and Financial Statements 2022** 

## **Notes on the financial statements** 

## **Note 2 Critical accounting judgements and estimates** 

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the ncome and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements.  Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Key areas subject to judgement and estimation are as follows: 

## **Defined benefit pension scheme liabilities** 

The Energy Institute has obligations to pay pension benefits to certain employees. The cost of these benefits and the present value of the obligation depend on a number of factors, including; life expectancy, salary increases, asset valuations and the discount rate on corporate bonds. Management estimates these factors in determining the net pension obligation in the balance sheet as advised by an independent actuarial adviser. The assumptions reflect historical experience and current trends. The FRS 102 valuation has presented a surplus in the fund. The next pension plan triennial valuation will be for the year ended 31 December 2022 and is likely to result in a surplus, historically the employer has recovered some of the surplus by transferring the annual administration expense obligation to the plan and reducing the employer contributions.

Employer contributions made during the period in respect of 66 (2021: 72) employees were £245,000 (2021: £239,000). The Energy Institute entered into a salary sacrifice scheme agreement with stakeholder pension scheme members from the 1 January 2020. 

## **Defined benefit pension scheme** 

The Energy Institute operates a defined benefit pension scheme, the Energy Institute Pension and Dependents Benefits Plan which has 6 active members. The scheme funds are administered by Trustees and are independent of the Energy Institute's finances. Contributions are paid to the scheme in accordance with the recommendations of an independent actuarial adviser. Details in respect of the scheme are provided below. The benefits have been valued by projecting forward the results from the FRS102 disclosures, as at 31 December 2022, making adjustments to reflect benefits paid out of the Plan, additional accrual and differences between the assumptions used at this year-end and those at the previous year-end. The value of the defined benefit liabilities has been measured using the projected unit method. The full actuarial valuation as at 1 January 2020 showed a deficit of £40,000.
