In a separate development amid Russia-Ukraine crises, the German government has launched a holding company to carry out a possible nationalisation of Gazprom Germania, reported Reuters citing German Sunday newspaper Welt am Sonntag as saying.
In April 2022, Russia’s Gazprom exited its German energy trading, storage, and transmission business, Gazprom Germania, in the wake of strained energy ties between Russia and Germany as a result of Moscow’s military incursion on Ukraine.
The new holding company, named Securing Energy for Europe Holding GmbH (SEEHG), will be responsible for the Gazprom Germania’s investments.
