The German government struck a deal with energy companies to import liquefied natural gas through two new terminals in an effort to alleviate a supply crunch that’s crippling the economy.
Economy Minister Robert Habeck signed a memorandum of understanding with Uniper SE and RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, which will operate the floating terminals in Brunsbuettel and Wilhelmshaven, for the “temporary supply” of LNG, he said in a statement on Tuesday. The two companies will also team up with EnBW Energie Baden-Wuerttemberg AG and VNG AG to purchase the LNG.
