HOUSTON – ENGIE North America (ENGIE), in collaboration with Energy Research Consulting Group (ERCG), today announced the release of the 2026 North American Business Energy Census, its fourth annual report capturing insights from aggregators, brokers, and consultants (ABCs) across North America.

Based on more than 100 survey responses—each representing approximately 5,000+ customer locations—the report provides a comprehensive view of evolving energy market dynamics and customer priorities, highlighting how businesses are navigating rising demand, ongoing price pressure, and a fundamental shift in how energy is sourced, managed, and valued.

“This year’s Business Energy Census reinforces what we’re seeing across the market—energy is becoming a strategic priority as price volatility and demand continue to evolve,” said Anne‑Laure Chassanite, North America B2B Supply CEO at ENGIE Resources. “Organizations are balancing cost management with sustainability goals, reinforcing the need for reliable energy solutions and experienced collaborators to navigate an increasingly complex landscape.”

Key findings from the 2026 Business Energy Census include:

• Energy is now a core business priority, not a support function: Nearly half (48%) of respondents report energy has become more strategic within their organizations, up from 38% in 2025.

• Volatility and price pressure are becoming structural realities: A majority of respondents anticipate higher power and natural gas prices, along with increased volatility.

• Renewables remain central, with greater financial discipline: While 73% of respondents report willingness to pay a premium for renewable energy, the data shows a shift toward solutions that balance sustainability with cost, speed to market, and reliability.

• Businesses are adapting and continuing to invest despite higher costs: Fewer respondents report significant impacts on M&A or expansion activity, indicating that organizations are adjusting strategies and moving forward rather than pausing in response to rising energy prices.

As energy continues to evolve from a cost center into a core strategic consideration, the findings underscore the importance of informed decision making, long-term planning, and access to flexible, reliable energy solutions.

Explore the full report and gain actionable insights to support your energy strategy and business priorities.

HOUSTON – ENGIE North America (ENGIE) announced it has entered into a preliminary agreement with Cipher Mining Inc. (NASDAQ:CIFR) (“Cipher”) to enter into a power supply agreement to power a Cipher data center in Texas. Once executed, the agreement would allow Cipher to purchase up to 300 megawatts (MW) of clean energy from one of ENGIE’s wind facilities.

The new arrangement would leverage the wind project’s renewable energy generation to power the co-located data center, helping to alleviate an already congested transmission area. This helps offset basis risk and mitigate curtailment challenges especially in regions like West Texas, where wind and solar resources are abundant but often face constraints due to transmission bottlenecks and curtailment.

By pairing the data center with renewable energy, this strategic collaboration supports the use of surplus energy during periods of excess generation, while enhancing grid stability and reliability.
“ENGIE is committed to pursuing innovative solutions that maximize the value of renewable generation and improving cost effectiveness of delivering clean energy supply to our customers,” said David Carroll, Chief Renewables Officer & SVP, ENGIE North America. “We are focused on meeting the growing need for power by our customers as they expand their operations in the U.S. and renewables is an essential part of supplying this increasing demand.”
This agreement continues to reflect ENGIE’s position as one of the leading providers of power purchase agreements globally.

HOUSTON – ENGIE North America (ENGIE) announced today a contract with Einstein Bros. Bagels, a significant step in its commitment to providing 24/7 renewable energy to commercial customers by 2030, reinforcing the Group’s recently reaffirmed ambition to offer round-the-clock clean energy solutions worldwide. With this contract that runs through May 2027, ENGIE intends to match 90% of the hourly electricity consumption for 25 Einstein Bros.® Bagels locations in Texas with Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) from a portfolio of wind and solar assets including ENGIE’s Live Oak Wind Project in Texas. ENGIE’s unique position as a developer and operator of both renewable and flexible generation across North America, in addition to its market-leading internal risk management function, facilitates its ability to be a pioneer in this space.

As a major player in the energy transition, ENGIE commits to accelerate the transition to a carbon-neutral world, through reduced energy consumption and more environmentally-friendly solutions. Leveraging its diversified portfolio of renewable generation, storage, and flexible assets, ENGIE ensures reliable, decarbonized electricity supply to businesses of all sizes. The introduction of ENGIE’s 24/7 matching renewable energy solution in the U.S. to a network of food service locations highlights this commitment.

Achieving 24/7 renewable energy with hourly matching and reporting is a complex and technically challenging feat, compared to annual matching. “It requires tracking the hourly generation of multiple renewable resources and matching the RECs generated therefrom with hourly electricity consumption at the 25 Einstein Bros.® Bagels locations,” said David Benhamou, ENGIE North America’s head of power portfolio management.  

Einstein Bros.® Bagels had previously entered a retail energy supply agreement with ENGIE which was matched annually from ENGIE’s Live Oak Wind Project in Texas.

“At Einstein Bros. Bagels, we recognize the importance of sustainable energy solutions, and we’re proud to take this next step with ENGIE toward a cleaner future. By integrating 24/7 renewable energy matching into a number of our Texas locations, we are reinforcing our commitment to responsible energy use and supporting innovative solutions that drive the industry forward,” said Héctor Briones, CMO for Einstein Bros.® Bagels.

DAYTON and HOUSTON – Feb. 5, 2025 – Norwood Medical LLC (Dayton) and ENGIE Resources LLC, a subsidiary of ENGIE North America (ENGIE), announce a five-year renewable energy contract. The agreement brings renewable wind energy from ENGIE to Norwood Medical’s headquarters campus in Dayton.

Under the terms of a five-year agreement, Norwood Medical will initially match 50% of its electricity consumption at ¬¬¬¬¬four locations, increasing its commitment to 100% for eleven buildings over the term, including approximately 120,000 Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from ENGIE’s Priddy Wind Project in Texas.

Norwood Medical will procure Green-e® Certified RECs that will ultimately deliver the equivalent environmental benefits of avoiding the greenhouse gas emissions from 52 million pounds of coal burned, or 47,223 metric tons of CO2*. Green-e® RECs are certified by the non-profit Center for Resource Solutions to verify exclusive use of renewable electricity within an electricity market.

The agreement supports a Norwood Medical objective to reduce carbon emissions. “We have a goal of 50% reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 versus baseline year of 2021, and net zero by 2050,” said Jeremiah Allen, Vice President, Engineering. “Reducing our impact on the environment is vitally important. Leveraging renewable electricity will help us hit our goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% from 2021 levels.”

Serving as an advisor on this agreement is Statistical Energy (Dublin, OH). “We are proud to bring together two carbon champions,” said Michael Jackson, CEO/Partner, Statistical Energy. “This agreement is proof that renewable energy can be structured in a manner that addresses market volatility and meets the needs of a growing, commercial electricity customer with a commitment to reduce carbon through renewable energy.”

“Norwood asked us for a comprehensive analysis of their usage, plans for growth, historic prices and the forward fixed market. This led us to a structure with some market-based risk and float on the market, rather than to lock in a price now,” said Ron Cantlie, President/Partner at Statistical Energy. “Norwood chose optionality to lock in later, or not lock at all. It addresses the changing nature of supply and demand on the PJM grid.”

ENGIE in the top 50! The Group lies in 46th place in the World’s Best Companies 2024 ranking published by Time magazine and Statista. What’s more, in France the Group is in the top 5.

Published by the American weekly magazine Time in partnership with Statista, a leading international provider of market and consumer data and rankings, the World’s Best Companies 2024 ranking evaluates the world’s 1,000 top performing companies according to three key criteria: employee satisfaction, revenue growth and sustainability performance (ESG criteria).

ENGIE stands out this year, ranking 46th worldwide, compared with 57th place last year. This improvement is largely due to the growth rate of the company, reflecting its ability to innovate and to adapt in a constantly changing sector.

In France, ENGIE has climbed to 5th place, in particular thanks to its Net Promoter Score (NPS), an indicator that measures overall positive customer and employee perception of the company.

This good score illustrates the Group’s commitment to providing a caring and inclusive working environment as well as its social model which reconciles economic performance with a positive impact on people and the planet.
