Uniper Sells OPAL Pipeline Stake to Hy24 to Meet EU State Aid Terms

Uniper agreed to sell its 20% stake in the OPAL gas pipeline to hydrogen investor Hy24, fulfilling an EU state aid condition tied to Germany's 2022 nationalization. The sale marks a step in Uniper's restructuring and aligns with the EU's hydrogen infrastructure push, though financial terms were not disclosed. This reduces Uniper's gas pipeline exposure and signals continued EU pressure on state-aided energy firms to divest assets.
