Engie SA, previously known as GDF Suez, is a French multinational electric utility company that operates in the fields of electricity generation and distribution, natural gas, and renewable energy. The company is headquartered in Courbevoie, near Paris, and is one of the largest utility companies globally. Engie's operations span more than 70 countries, encompassing power generation, distribution, and energy services, making the company a significant player in the global energy sector.

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.

Engie's operations cover every segment of the energy value chain. The company generates electricity through various sources including natural gas, nuclear power, coal, and increasingly renewable sources such as wind and solar. They also distribute the generated electricity to various businesses and households around the globe. The company also offers energy efficiency services, helping businesses and individuals optimize their energy consumption and reduce their carbon footprint.

Given the global shift towards cleaner energy sources, Engie is increasingly investing in renewable energy technologies. The company is heavily involved in the development of wind farms, solar power facilities, and hydroelectric power stations across the world. They are also exploring the potential of newer technologies such as hydrogen power and carbon capture and storage. While maintaining its traditional energy operations, Engie is looking to the future and playing its part in the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
