Engie reviews, prices and tariffs
French company Engie is a global player when it comes to energy, employing 17,000 people in the UK and 160,000 globally. Previously, “GDF Suez”, they became Engie in 2015 with a focus on three key activities; production & supply of energy, services and regeneration.
Interestingly the company can trace its origins back to 1858 when they traded as the Universal Suez Canal Company, constructing the Suez Canal. In 2005, it floated on the stock market before its merger in 2009 made it the world's largest independent generator of power.
In January 2020, it was reported that Engie was making a strategic exit from the domestic UK energy market with Octopus energy to acquire 70,000 households from the deal. The company wants to focus its efforts on working with businesses and local authorities.
