LNG

LNG import terminal developer and leading Finnish power company Fortum and subsidiary Uniper, Germany’s biggest Russian pipeline gas importer, and the German Government have agreed a comprehensive stabilisation package to provide financial relief to the Düsseldorf-based utility.

Fortum, the Finnish energy and power company with European Union-wide operations and with plans to give Finland its first floating LNG import terminal, is the majority shareholder in the troubled German utility Uniper but has refused to put any more cash into the Duesseldorf-based company.
