The head of German energy utility Uniper UN0 on Thursday said that United States resources will feature largely in its future imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) for Europe and other destinations.
“We are looking for new sources to diversify our gas portfolio and the U.S. will be a significant part of that,” said chief executive Michael Lewis at an online press call, asked about a recent European Union framework deal to source $750 billion worth of energy imports from the U.S. over three years.
Uniper said earlier in its first-half earnings reports it wants to expand its LNG portfolio to 250-300 terawatt hours a year over the medium term.
