5:17 am
rising, the fastest. this is the w business. i'm janelle dom allow on welcome. germany's largest gas supplier is on the brink of ruin. as a result of russia's war in ukraine unit for, as it's known, is struggling, threatening to bring down the countries entire gas system. currently, the group is losing an estimated a $900000000.00 euros a month. univer is forced to buy at high rates in the current climate, but is required to sell the gas cheaply because of long term contracts. if you end up or fails, municipal utility supplied by univer would no longer receive gas. millions of customers would face a cold winter. companies would face shutting down production. the company is now hoping for help from the state. the german government is planning a fund to support the energy industry,
5:18 am
amounting to 9000000000 euros gas suppliers who have payment problems will receive aid money in return for providing the government shares in their company. as bankruptcy looms for germany's largest energy supply, a unit per berlin says it's ready to take drastic steps to protect the rest of the economy. your mission to law. we will not allow this to have a system wide impact on the german and european market because it will have a domino effect with one companies, bankruptcy threatening, other sectors, and even the security of supply as a whole order godly performs opens cuz i'm the 1st road and there's another important reason to save unit per the company is building germany's 1st liquefied natural gas terminal on the north sea coast. the building permit has just been issued. the terminal should be ready in record time, early next year. this all comes ahead of a week of uncertainty for germany in the next few days,
5:19 am
the all important nod stream one pipeline is due to undergo maintenance. that means russia will cut off the gas flow for 10 days, and it's an open question whether it will ever be turned on. again, my colleague, emily gardena, joins us now. welcome, emily, emily. let's start with a bailout for who nipper. how would that look like? so the german government is looking at a set of measures including loans, taking a stake in the company, and also passing on some of the extra costs on to consumers. now, the blueprint for all of this is the loved hands up a lot during the pandemic. so at the time the german government provide loans til of tundra, but also took a 20 percent stake in the company. so what we're likely going to see now and the next coming days is on friday. the done government will provide a bill that is going to set the legal framework for all of this. and then as soon as that is, has gone through parliament,
5:20 am
it can actually act immediately. and am we're going, we're expecting a similar scenario to lufthansa. now we mentioned nord stream one earlier, what's germany going to do it after nord stream, one scheduled maintenance. moscow actually doesn't switch the taps back on so the german government has actually been preparing for this scenario for a while. so german economy minister about habit, he is also the energy minister. he has been traveling to different countries to find other suppliers of gas to be able to substitute rush and gas on which germany is heavily dependent on, at the same time and g terminals are being built across the country. but all of this is going to take time and in the short term, that leaves germany in somewhat of a pickle and you know, german, german industry is very heavily dependent on, on russian gas. and if there is not enough,
5:21 am
then they will be unable to continue their production. and at the same time, germany also delivers gas to other european countries. so this will also have a ripple effect on to other countries. the german government, you know, is only been in office for about 7 months. and when it's set out, it said that it wanted to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy use. but it certainly didn't expect laps. this would have to happen within weeks and it's, it's really leaving it in a very vulnerable spot. and the atmosphere that has being that is being carried from the government into the fire to use that, you know, germans will have to tighten the belts and it is in effect cope sort of paying the price for decades long policy a decade on policy that's relied on russian gas. thank you very much. emily guardian there for us time now to check in with our financial correspondent in new
