Security of supply
Globally securing gas supply in a volatile market
As one of Germany’s largest gas traders and a key LNG player in Northwest Europe, Uniper ensures a stable and competitive energy supply through a globally diversified procurement strategy. This portfolio spans long-term contracts, LNG imports, pipeline deliveries, and a significant share of gas storage facilities in Germany and Europe’s largest gas storage networks. With sourcing across countries like USA, Canada, Australia, and Norway, we reduce dependency on single suppliers and manage geopolitical and market risks. With our active management of LNG cargoes, Uniper ensures a flexible and responsive supply network to meet fluctuating demand.
Uniper also operates crucial gas infrastructure. Our roughly 80 TWh of gas storage capacity makes us one of Europe’s largest storage operators and ensures that energy is flexibly available when and where it is needed. Uniper also spearheaded the development of Germany’s first LNG terminal – located in Wilhelmshaven, reinforcing national and European energy independence.
At the same time, we are shaping the future of gas. From integrating renewable and low-carbon gases such as biomethane to preparing our infrastructure for hydrogen storage, Uniper is building the foundation for a decarbonized energy system. Backed by over a decade of practical hydrogen experience, we aim to have first electrolyzer projects operational by 2030.
Driving the energy transition with reliable, flexible, and renewable power
With its well-diversified European generation portfolio and its long-standing expertise in operating assets safely and reliably, Uniper provides its customers with secure and flexible power and increasingly renewable energy. As energy systems transition away from coal and embrace renewables, Uniper plays a critical role in maintaining grid stability through flexible generation and storage assets. 2.5 GW of our generating capacity is in Germany’s grid reserve, making an important contribution to energy security. Uniper is further developing its expertise in carbon capture technology and has projects underway at two sites in the UK, positioning the company to play a key role in other countries.
Enabling the energy transition in real time: for our customers and markets
As a leader in European power and gas markets, Uniper leverages its global sourcing and trading capabilities, a diversified asset and partnership portfolio, and deep market expertise to anticipate and meet evolving customer needs across European core markets as well as North America and Asia for sourcing and as global outlets. Our commercial business model is based on global reach, robust customer partnerships, and strong market intelligence. We build resilient business models that align with customer demands while navigating volatile markets – delivering secure energy supplies, bespoke solutions, and low-carbon commodities tailored to decarbonization needs.
