According to reports, RWE and private equity firm KKR have jointly submitted a non-binding offer for the partially privatized gas company Uniper. The federal government must reduce its majority stake in Uniper by the end of 2028, with a state holding of 25 percent plus one share set to remain. The works council and employee representatives warn against a break-up and instead call for an IPO; antitrust reviews and conditions would likely apply in the event of a merger with RWE.
