What is the duration and volume of Uniper's newly finalized LNG purchase deal with Canada, and when does supply begin?

Uniper finalized a 20-year liquefied natural gas purchase deal with Canada for 2 million tons of gas per year, with supply scheduled to begin in 2032 from the Ksi Lisims LNG project on British Columbia's Pacific coast.

Why are Germany and Canada strengthening energy cooperation, and how does this fit into Europe's broader post-Russia gas strategy?

Germany and Canada are deepening their energy partnership to bolster alternative gas routes after Russia's Gazprom halted deliveries in 2022, which forced Europe to rely heavily on U.S. LNG—accounting for 96% of Germany's LNG imports last year—and these deals aim to diversify away from that overdependence, as highlighted by Uniper’s and SEFE’s separate commitments to Canada’s Ksi Lisims project and Uniper’s prior agreement with Canada’s Tourmaline.
