Germany's Uniper says in talks on Wilhelmshaven LNG terminal

FRANKFURT/DUESSELDORF, (Reuters) - German utility Uniper is ready to import liquefied natural gas (LNG) into the country and distribute it should a terminal be built at Wilhelmshaven, close to its storage facilities, board member Keith Martin told Reuters in an interview.

Martin said the company is in talks with a number of parties including those from the United States and that more concrete news should be announced before the end of the year.

Such plans put Uniper in competition with RWE which said earlier this month it had secured capacity to import LNG at a planned terminal in Brunsbuettel, for which a final investment decision would be made next year.

“We are in talks with interested parties in building a floating liquefied natural gas import terminal at Wilhelmshaven,” Martin said told Reuters. “We are talking to a wide range of people, including the U.S.”
