Michael Lewis, the CEO of the state-owned energy conglomerate Uniper, welcomed the federal government’s plans for the company’s sale, expressing optimism about the opportunities ahead. Speaking to the “Rheinische Post” Lewis stated, “Uniper welcomes the announcement from the Federal Ministry of Finance today. We are now more stable, resilient, and strategically clearer”. He emphasized that Uniper has successfully aligned its operations with reliable earnings and maintains a robust balance sheet. This financial strength not only allows the company to continue paying dividends but also enables targeted investments in growth and transformation, ensuring both sustainable value and security of supply. Regarding the terms of the privatization, Lewis remained open, noting that the Federal government will ultimately decide on the method and timeline of the reprivatization. These privatization plans were officially announced by the government on Tuesday through an advertisement in the “Financial Times”.
