Germany has invited interested parties to submit non‑binding offers for the nationalised energy company Uniper SE by Sept. 21. Berlin’s finance ministry wants to keep the firm as an integrated gas‑trading and power‑production entity, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The company’s advisers, JPMorgan Chase & Co. and UBS Group, have sent a letter to potential bidders requesting proposals that cover the combined business. The deadline for submissions is set for the end of September, giving investors a tight window to evaluate the opportunity.

Uniper’s sale would rank among the largest energy transactions in recent years, reflecting Germany’s broader strategy to restructure its energy sector while maintaining control over key assets. Analysts note that a successful bid could reshape the country’s gas and power markets, influencing supply chains and pricing dynamics across Europe.

Stakeholders are monitoring the process closely, as the outcome will have implications for national energy security and the competitive landscape of the European power market.
