Gazprom plans to enter Europe's electricity market, which has called for the development of new generating capacity after several EU countries have decided against nuclear power, Gazprom deputy chief executive Alexander Medvedev said Monday.
"By year's end, we will form a roster of possible projects, bearing in mind the closure of nuclear power plants in Germany and Switzerland," Medvedev said.
"We want to operate not only as a supplier but also an operator in the electricity sector," Medvedev said, adding that Gazprom is not interested in tolling. He said these options have already been discussed with Wintershall. In addition, a meeting is planned with the head of RWE, Jurgen Grossman.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
