By 2028, however, the government plans to reduce its stake to 25% plus one share and thus to (partly) privatize Uniper again. On the occasion of Uniper\u2019s annual general meeting on 8 May 2025 we are adding to the debate about the company\u2019s future direction. We propose not to privatize Uniper but to socialize it in earnest \u2014 that is, to transfer it into democratic common ownership. This could create a public company under democratic control that actively drives the energy transition forward.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/communia.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Uniper_final_online_compressed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the concept paper (German)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.7&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_blurb title=&#8221;Legal opinion: Socialization for the energy transition?
