Rising From The Ashes of The Second World War
Engie was initially founded as Gaz de France in 1946 when the French government decided to nationalize the production and distribution of gas in the aftermath of World War II. In 2008, Gaz de France merged with Suez, an international industrial and services group, creating GDF Suez. The name was changed to Engie in 2015, signifying a new strategic direction for the company as it looked to expand outside of France’s borders. Today, Engie is one of the most diversified energy providers in the world, with operations stretching from North America to Asia and Africa. Given their position in the market, they compete with companies such as RWE, Enel, TotalEnergies, and many more.
