German power generator and gas trader, majority-nationalized by the German government after the 2022 energy crisis.
German power generator and gas trader, majority-nationalized by the German government after the 2022 energy crisis.
Earns by running power plants and by buying and selling gas and electricity, so results follow the gap between fuel costs and sale prices rather than a regulated tariff. Spun out of E.ON in 2016, it was majority-owned by Finland's Fortum until Germany took control in the 2022 rescue; EU state-aid conditions require the state to reduce its stake later.
In one line: A nationalized German power generator/gas trader, akin to a state-backed utility trading a.
Moat: none (scale). Commodity power generation/trading with thin, cyclical margins; recently required a government bailout.
