What is Uniper's €5 billion investment plan focused on, and how does it relate to data centres?

Uniper plans to invest around €5 billion by 2030 in flexible power generation and renewables, with more than half of that amount dedicated to flexible power generation—particularly in Germany. As part of this strategy shift, the company is targeting new revenue from data centres located at its existing power plant sites, leveraging over 10 identified sites with suitable infrastructure situated along key European data hubs; three such projects are already in advanced development, one in Britain has been completed, and further investment decisions are expected this year.

Why is Uniper pursuing opportunities in the data centre sector, according to the announcement?

Uniper is pursuing data centre opportunities because rising demand for digital infrastructure—and the associated surge in electricity demand from data centres—creates a need for powerful, reliable, and long-term electricity supply solutions; the company aims to generate additional revenue through structured power purchase agreements and, where economically viable, via direct supply from its own secured generation capacity.
