Canadian Investor Consortium Seeks Acquisition of Uniper Shares
A Canadian investor consortium has expressed interest in acquiring shares of Uniper, Germany’s primary gas importer.
Uniper, based in Düsseldorf, has faced financial difficulties following the cessation of Russian gas supplies amid the Ukraine conflict. The German government intervened by acquiring a 99% stake in the company to stabilize the national gas supply. Under EU regulations, the government is required to divest approximately 75% of its holdings by the end of 2028 and has initiated a sales process. Interested parties were invited to submit proposals by the recent deadline. The consortium, which includes Brookfield, manages assets exceeding $1 trillion.
