Equinor in Germany

Germany is aiming to become climate neutral by 2045 and Equinor is committed to contributing to this goal by investing in renewables and low carbon solutions. We play an important role in Germany’s energy security today while shaping the country’s energy of tomorrow. We opened our first office in Germany in 1984 and have been a reliable supplier of natural gas ever since.

What connects Germany and Norway?

Winter sports, love of nature and three natural gas pipelines.

Equinor opened its first German office in Düsseldorf in 1984. Then, as now, the focus was on reliable gas deliveries. Equinor Deutschland GmbH later moved to East Frisia — first to Emden and then to Etzel, where Equinor operates a natural gas storage facility through its subsidiary Equinor Deutschland Storage GmbH.

In addition to the gas business, Equinor is also present in the offshore wind sector in Germany. Together with the operator RWE renewables, we invested in the Arkona offshore wind farm, which is 35 kilometers off Rügen in the Baltic Sea. The 385 MW park was opened in 2019. Equinor has had an office in Berlin since 2014 that is responsible for government and parliamentary contacts.
