Eon has revealed the management structure for the spin-off company created to focus on Eon’s upstream interests, which it says will be named Uniper.
Eon’s current chief financial officer (CFO) Klaus Schäfer will take up the position of chief executive of Uniper and will be replaced at Eon by the CFO of Siemens healthcare Michael Sen from 1 June 2015.
Eon Group veteran Christopher Delbrück – who has served as CFO of Eon’s Swedish subsidiary, Eon Energy Trading and Eon Ruhrgas – will join Uniper as its new CFO alongside Schäfer.
Uniper will be based in Dusseldorf where the wider Eon is currently located, while Eon will move its headquarters to Essen to be closer to its networks and renewables business.
Eon announced its comprehensive overhaul plans late last year, saying it would split the business operations between new emerging energy market trends, and the continued need for conventional security of supply.
Uniper, a name combining the words ‘unique’ and ‘performance’, will begin operations on 1 January 2016.
