Gazprom expects Germany's exit from nuclear power to boost demand for its fuel supplies, deputy chief executive Alexander Medvedev said Friday in remarks broadcast on state television.
Germany may need additional supplies of 15 billion to 20 billion cubic meters of gas a year to fuel power stations, RIA-Novosti reported Friday, citing Medvedev. It will have to spend about 10 billion euros ($14 billion) to build gas-fired generating capacity, RIA-Novosti said, citing the executive.
RWE chief executive Juergen Grossmann is considering Gazprom as an investor for the German utility, Der Spiegel reported, citing unidentified people familiar with the issue. Grossmann met Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller in Paris on Saturday to discuss possible cooperation, the magazine said on its web site.

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.
