Uniper Group
Uniper Group
Düsseldorf-based Uniper is an international energy company with activities in more than 40 countries. With around 7,000 employees, it makes an important contribution to security of supply in Europe. Uniper’s core businesses are power generation in Europe, global energy trading, and a broad gas portfolio.
Uniper procures gas – including liquefied natural gas (LNG) – and other energy sources on global markets. The company owns and operates gas storage facilities with a capacity of more than 7 billion cubic meters. Uniper plans for its 22.5 GW of installed power-generating capacity in Europe to be carbon-neutral by 2035. The company already ranks among Europe’s largest operators of hydroelectric plants and intends to further expand solar and wind energy, which are essential for a more sustainable and autonomous future.
Uniper is a reliable partner for communities, municipal utilities, and industrial enterprises for planning and implementing innovative, lower-carbon solutions on their decarbonization journey. Uniper is a hydrogen pioneer, is active worldwide along the entire hydrogen value chain, and is conducting projects to make hydrogen a mainstay of the energy supply.

Global Commodities
Global Commodities
Uniper is one of the largest European traders of natural gas and electricity via its Global Commodities business line. It includes Uniper's global trading activities in physical commodities and the gas midstream business. The latter consists, among other things, of long-term gas supply contracts with a volume of almost 400 TWh. It also includes about 7.4 bcm of storage capacity and interests in pipelines.
The LNG business will be further expanded to put the supply portfolio on a broader basis following the loss of Russian gas supplies. Further growth areas comprise the addition of new hydrogen and hydrogen-related commodities as well as growing the already well established long-term solar and wind power purchase agreements (PPA) portfolio. In parallel, Uniper aims to reduce carbon emissions in the energy trading business also by promoting a reduction of upstream and downstream emissions within the existing value chain.
