Uniper was the first German energy company to sound the alarm over soaring energy bills due to reduced supplies of Russian gas.
"We welcome that the German Parliament has now approved a 'toolbox' which will allow immediate relief to the effects of the gas supply crisis," said Markus Rauramo, president and CEO of Fortum, referring to newly adopted German energy legislation.
"Next, we look forward to the German government to start promptly implementing these tools to stabilise the situation in the energy industry and in particular at Uniper, as we continue talks on a long-term solution," he added. Germany's biggest importer of gas, Fortum said Uniper has been hit hardest by reduced Russian gas flows. The company has received only 40% of Russian contracted volumes in recent weeks and has been forced to source the replacement volumes at significantly higher prices.
