The European Union has recognized that Uniper SE cannot fulfill one of the critical conditions for the approval of a €13.5 billion bailout. This acknowledgment arises because Uniper's Russian subsidiary, Unipro PJSC , has been placed under administration by Russian authorities, effectively stripping Uniper of control over the asset and rendering it unsellable under the stipulated terms.
Uniper's CEO, Michael Lewis michael lewis, confirmed this development at the Handelsblatt energy summit in an interview with Reuters. He stated that Brussels understands Uniper's predicament regarding Unipro, which remains on the list of assets to be divested by the end of 2026. Despite the setback with Unipro, nine out of the ten assets targeted by the bailout conditions have either been sold or are in the process of being sold.
