- Uniper suffered record net losses in the history of the German stock market, amounting to some €40 billion. The company has become a 'major loser' of the war in Ukraine and the NordStream gas pipeline debacle. Due to the extraordinary situation, the company will pursue a court-ordered, 'customary' dispute with Gazprom under Swiss law. Germany's first capital injection of 8 billion euros has already been approved by investors. The company is in the process of being nationalized as part of a state buyout to enable it to survive the energy crisis. Uniper in early December estimated the cost of replacing Russian gas at around €11.6 billion.
