Uniper SE
Uniper SE was founded in 2016, formed by the separation of E.ON's conventional generation and international energy trading business into a new independent company [1]. After the separation became effective on January 1st 2016, Uniper assumed control of the energy company's fossil fuel assets, hydro assets and global energy trading activity, while E.ON shifted its focus to renewables, energy networks, and energy efficiency services [2] [3]. As of 2021, the company has 11,494 employees and has operations in more than 40 countries [4] [5]. The corporate headquarters of the company are in Düsseldorf, Germany [6]. In 2021, Uniper SE reported a net income of 906 million euros [7].
Uniper (Benelux)
Uniper Benelux N.V., stylized as Uniper, is a subsidiary of the German Uniper SE, with its headquarters in Rotterdam, The Netherlands [8]. E.ON Benelux passed into Uniper Benelux in 2016, subsequent to the separation of Uniper SE and E.ON into two separate companies. Following this separation, E.ON transferred its coal and gas-fired power stations in Belgium and The Netherlands to Uniper in 2016 [9]. E.ON became active in the Netherlands after the acquisition of Elektriciteitsbedrijf Zuid-Holland (EZH) for a sum of 1.1 billion euros. In 2005, E.ON Benelux bought the supply company NRE Energie and Q-Energy in Eindhoven [10]. Uniper Benelux produces electricity, heat and steam in The Netherlands and has four locations across the country (Maasvlakte, Rotterdam, The Hague and Leiden) [11]. The Uniper Energy Hub Maasvlakte produces energy on an industrial scale and plays an important role in The Netherlands, providing up to 7% of the total electricity demand [12]. Rotterdam ('RoCa', Rotterdam/Capella aan den Ijssel), The Hague and Leiden have city power stations that focus on the reliable supply of energy in the built environment [13]. In The Netherlands, approximately 300 people are employed for Uniper [14]. While Belgium does not have any production plants for Uniper Benelux, its products are supplied to the business-to-business market [15].
Company Structure
Uniper is a public company that operates in many countries, most notably in Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Belgium, The Netherlands, Russia and Hungary [16]. Additionally, the company has offices in several international locations, namely Turkey, Azerbaijan, Canada, Singapore, the United States, India and the United Arab Emirates, to support their activities outside of Europe [17].
Uniper SE works with two boards: the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. The Management Board consists of four members and represents the company vis-á-vis third parties. They determine and update business objectives, fundamental strategic orientation, corporate policy and group organization [18].

Besides supervising and advising the Management Board, the Supervisory Board is directly involved in decisions that are of fundamental importance to the company.
