Gazprom Energy is now SEFE Energy

Introducing SEFE Energy: Gazprom Energy’s New Chapter in Securing Europe’s Energy Supply

We are excited to announce that Gazprom Energy is now officially SEFE Energy. As part of the SEFE Group (Securing Energy for Europe), this change marks a significant step forward for the company and reflects its repositioning to ensure energy security across Europe.



This transformation underscores SEFE Group’s commitment to playing a long-term role in the European energy market under the fiduciary management of Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur).

Why the Name Change?

Since April 2022, SEFE Energy (formerly Gazprom Energy) has been under the trusteeship of the Bundesnetzagentur. The trusteeship was established to safeguard the security of Europe’s energy supply amidst shifting market dynamics.



The new name, SEFE (Securing Energy for Europe), reflects the company’s renewed purpose to ensure energy security for businesses across Europe.

What Does This Change Mean?

For customers, vendors, suppliers, and partners, the impact of this rebranding is minimal:

• Daily Operations Remain Unchanged:
  SEFE Energy will continue to deliver the same high-quality service. The leadership and operational teams remain focused on providing energy solutions tailored to customers' needs.

• Updated Branding:
• SEFE Energy has introduced a new website at www.sefe-energy.co.uk, with all previous URLs redirected.

• The company’s logo and branding have been updated to reflect the new name.

• Legal Entity Unchanged:
  SEFE Energy Limited remains the same legal entity as Gazprom Marketing & Trading Retail Limited, with only the company name updated. This ensures that all contracts and agreements remain valid and unaffected.

• Email Updates Underway:
• SEFE Energy is in the process of creating new email addresses, expected to be completed by September 2024.

• Current emails will remain functional until the transition is complete.

• Bank Details Updated:
• The name on the company’s bank account has changed to SEFE Energy Limited.

• Other bank details, including account numbers, remain unchanged.

Leadership and Financial Stability

SEFE Energy is poised for long-term success under its parent company, SEFE Marketing & Trading Limited (formerly Gazprom Marketing & Trading Limited), and the broader SEFE Group.

Under the leadership of Dr. Egbert Laege, Managing Director of SEFE GmbH and Chairman of SEFE Energy Limited, the company has already achieved significant milestones:

• Securing a €9.8 billion loan from Germany’s investment and development bank (KfW) to ensure financial stability.



• The German Federal Government has committed to extending its trusteeship over SEFE Group and converting the KfW loan into equity.

A Word from SEFE Energy’s CEO



Julian Denée, SEFE Energy’s CEO, shared his enthusiasm for the company’s future:

“This significant change is a very welcome step forward for everyone at SEFE Energy. We are entering a new chapter, one we are all very excited about. Our customers and their changing needs continue to be our priority, and we feel very optimistic and confident about our future.”
