What is the duration, volume, and significance of Uniper's new gas import deal with Equinor?

The deal is a 15-year agreement running from 2027 to 2041, under which Uniper will import more than 30 terawatt hours of gas annually from Equinor; it accounts for nearly 3% of Germany's annual gas imports and underscores Norway's emergence as Germany's top gas supplier, replacing Russia after Moscow ended most energy ties with Europe following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

How does this deal align with Uniper's broader energy strategy and environmental goals?

The deal supports Uniper's strategy to diversify its supply base—following a recent agreement with Canada—to reduce shortage risks highlighted by geopolitical tensions including the war in Iran; it also advances cooperation with Equinor on developing natural gas with lower emissions, leveraging the reduced carbon intensity of Norwegian gas compared to alternative sources.
