Which countries host Uniper's 10 potential data-center sites, and how many are in each?

Uniper has identified about 10 sites across Europe for data-center development: four in the UK, three in Germany, two in Sweden, and one in the Netherlands.

What is Uniper's strategic motivation for pursuing data-center sales or leases?

Uniper aims to boost its appeal to investors as Germany prepares to sell down its stake following the multibillion-euro bailout during the 2022 energy crisis, and it seeks to capitalize on surging AI infrastructure demand by repurposing former fossil-fuel power plants—which offer large industrial sites and existing grid connections—to meet the data-center sector’s growing electricity needs.
