In August 2023, the company introduced a new strategy to support energy industry transformation. It is transforming its own power plants and facilities and will invest in a flexible power generation system.

In the following month, it announced plans to build a 300MW solar plant in Elsfleth, Lower Saxony.

It aims to invest more than €8bn ($8.68bn) between 2023 and 2030 in power generation assets such as solar and wind.

By 2030, Uniper aims to have more than 80% of its power generated from carbon-free resources. It plans to end coal-based electricity generation by 2029 and become carbon-neutral by 2040.
