THE FIGURE

846 MW

This is the installed capacity of ENGIE's largest onshore Wind farm worldwide, which was commissioned in Brazil at the end of 2025.

 

THE COUNTRIE

INDIA

Present in India since 1997, ENGIE plays a key role in the country's energy transition, which aims to achieve an installed capacity of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030. In this fast-growing market, ENGIE targets an installed capacity of 7 GW of renewable energy and storage by 2030, with 2 GW of projects currently in operation and under construction.

With 1,000 employees locally, the Group is developing large-scale solar, wind and battery storage projects in several states, such as Gujarat and Rajasthan. Recently, the Group won two tenders for projects totaling nearly 600 MW of capacity, including its first BESS project (280 MW/560 MWh) and its first solar-storage hybrid project in India (200 MW of solar and 100 MW/600 MWh of batteries) capable of delivering reliable, round-the-clock green power.

Alongside asset development, ENGIE is expanding its commercial activities by delivering tailored, low-carbon energy solutions to corporate and industrial customers.

ENGIE pursues its coal phase-out with the closure of the Mejillones units

On December 31, 2025, ENGIE Chile disconnected two units at the Mejillones coal-fired power plant after nearly 30 years of operation, thereby removing 711 MW of coal-fired capacity. At the same time, the Group began converting one of the units to natural gas (377 MW) to provide flexibility to the grid and ensure its reliability.

The closure of the last two coal-fired units and the commissioning of a 140 MW / 802 MWh battery energy storage system at Mejillonnes will contribute to the conversion of the site and support Chile's decarbonization goals.

Romania

ENGIE doubles its renewable Energy capacity

ENGIE signed an agreement to purchase a 253 MW wind project from Greenvolt Power, located in Lalomița, a county in the southeast of Romania which benefits from favorable wind conditions. Supported by a Contract for Difference (CfD), the project includes 42 high-efficiency turbines and will be fully operational in 2027, becoming one of Romania’s largest wind farms. This acquisition doubles ENGIE Romania’s renewable capacity to 500 MW, reinforcing its goal to exceed 1 GW of renewable & storage installed capacity by 2030.

Two large-scale Wind farm projects underway simultaneously

ENGIE recently reached key milestones in the development of two wind farm projects located in the Antofagasta and Ñuble regions.

At Pampa Fidelia, the first wind turbine in a set of 51 units has been installed. This wind farm will offer a total capacity of 306 MW, enabling it to power around 300,000 homes while reducing annual CO2 emissions by around 91,000 tons.

At the Chequenes wind farm, the first wind turbine in a fleet of 22 has also been installed. Once construction is completed at the end of 2026, this wind farm will have a capacity of 165 MW, enough to supply energy to nearly 100,000 homes and avoid nearly 40,000 tons of CO2 emissions each year.

Combining battery storage with gas power plant for more flexibility

ENGIE has begun the construction of a 200 MW / 400 MWh battery adjacent to its Pelican Point gas-fired power station (489 MW). Following recent upgrades to the power station, this project will combine cutting-edge storage technology with fast-response generation to ensure secure, affordable energy while supporting the transition to renewables and a cleaner, more resilient grid.

The battery project, which will create 250 jobs during the construction phase, is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2027 and will store enough energy to power 29,400 average Australian homes. ENGIE will also provide up to $30,000 per year to a dedicated Community Benefit Fund for the life of the operating asset.

ENGIE and Google extend their partnership fo 24/7 carbon-free Energy

ENGIE and Google are deepening their collaboration to accelerate the energy transition in Germany. The two companies have extended their 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) partnership in Germany until 2030. ENGIE will leverage its extensive energy management expertise to drive decarbonization in Germany as Google's German CFE manager.

The goal is to provide hourly green energy from new onshore wind and solar projects, complemented by storage solutions such as batteries and pumped storage. This innovative approach enables Google’s German operations to run at or near 85% carbon-free energy in 2026.

ENGIE signs a 9-year solar energy contract with AstraZeneca

ENGIE will supply solar energy and associated Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to AstraZeneca’s Coppell Texas manufacturing site under an agreement running through 2034. Energy will come from 114 MW solar generator, Texas Tyson Nick Solar Project, located in Lamar County at the north of Dallas. It will avoid 94,447 tonnes of CO₂ emissions. This partnership supports AstraZeneca’s decarbonization goals.

ENGIE and Capital Dynamics sign an innovative 15-year PPA to decarbonize McDonald UK supply chain

ENGIE and Capital Dynamics have collaborated on a 15-year Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (cPPA) with McDonald’s UK. The client will purchase 100% of the power generated by the Douglas West Extension Wind Farm (66 MW) in Scotland, which is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2026 and generate approximately 190 GWh of clean electricity per year.

Via an innovative supply arrangement with ENGIE, the cPPA will enable McDonald’s to share the electricity produced with its key suppliers, as part of the company’s efforts to decarbonize its supply chain and drive significant Scope 3 emissions reductions. The project includes a community benefit fund contributing over £300,000 annually to support local initiatives and drive positive impact.

Versailles renews its district heating concession with ENGIE for a long-term decarbonization plan

The City of Versailles has renewed ENGIE’s concession for its heating district heating networks for an exceptional term of 32-years. The project will deliver 69% geothermal energy by 2030, thanks to the construction of two geothermal « doublets » (production and reinjection wells) that will tap into the Dogger aquifer, located 1,500 meters underground.

ENGIE will invest €110 million in four geothermal heat exchangers with a total capacity of 24 MW, eight heat pumps and a network expanded to 35 km, enabling connections for 14,600 equivalent homes. This ambitious modernization will reduce CO₂ emissions by nearly 70%, or nearly 900,000 tons over the entire contract period.

City of Châteauroux expands its partnership with ENGIE to scale up Energy efficiency

Since 2016, ENGIE has managed the energy performance of Châteauroux’s public buildings, achieving the goal of reducing energy costs by 25% across 88 sites. Renewed for 8 years, the new contract now covers 138 sites and targets a 6% additional energy optimization, on top of the gains already achieved. Over the term of the contract, these energy efficiency measures will prevent 1,680 tons of CO₂ emissions. Thirty-four of the most energy-intensive sites will also be connected to the district heating network currently under development. They will thus benefit from carbon-free heating, which will ultimately be powered by nearly 94% of renewable and local energy sources.
