  "account": "The German government has narrowed down the bidders for the takeover of gas supplier Uniper. A consortium of Canadian investors Brookfield and CPP, Norwegian energy company Equinor, and British gas supplier Centrica have been invited to submit a binding offer for the Düsseldorf-based company. A bidding consortium of energy company RWE and financial investor KKR, as well as EP-Gruppe of Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, have dropped out of the process. If a complete sale of the government's 75 percent stake in Uniper goes ahead, the company's majority owner will again be foreign, although the government will retain a 25 percent stake and veto power over key decisions.",
  "summary": "The Federal Government has invited three bidders to submit binding offers for Germany's most important gas supplier. A strategic bidder from Germany apparently has the disadvantage.",
