This includes both selling directly to the market and through long-term contracts. Second, Uniper's global commodity trading operations contribute significantly to its revenue, as it engages in the trading of natural gas, coal, and electricity across various markets. This trading activity is supported by Uniper's extensive infrastructure, including storage facilities and pipelines. Third, the company offers energy services, such as asset management and engineering solutions, which provide additional income. Strategic partnerships and joint ventures in different regions also play a role in enhancing its market presence and financial performance.
