“We look back on a turbulent and extraordinarily challenging year 2022, which put VNG in an unprec-edented business situation,” says Ulf Heitmüller, CEO of VNG AG, opening this year’s Annual Press Conference 2023 in Leipzig. “The Russian war of aggression was a turning point for the entire energy industry, including the VNG Group. 2022 has seen changes in established market mechanisms. At the same time, market activity was extremely volatile. Due to the loss of Russian gas supplies, the politi-cal, economic and social focus on the security of the gas supply never been greater. Nevertheless, we managed to replace Russian natural gas quickly and reliably – albeit at high cost,” says Heitmüller.

As a company in the gas industry that’s important to the entire system, VNG was confronted with ma-jor challenges in guaranteeing the security of supply, especially in the Trading & Sales business area, says Heitmüller: “Competitive market prices could no longer be assured. By substituting the Russian gas supplies that were no longer available, we had to bear extremely high costs to secure substitute sources so we could keep on reliably supplying our customers at the contractually agreed prices, which are significantly lower.”
