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.

  • ENGIE ranks as the world’s number one supplier of energy for renewable corporate Power Purchase Agreements (cPPAs).
    3.6 GW signed in 2025 in this category, according to BloombergNEF’s annual benchmark review.

  • ENGIE has contracted 13.8 GW of cPPA since 2011, making the Group the global leader for the entire period from 2011 to 2025.

  • Confirmation of the Group’s leadership and the resilience of its renewable energy growth model.

This success has been driven by several major transactions concluded with leading tech players, including Apple, Google and Meta, as well as the ongoing expansion of its B2B customer base. This now includes manufacturing, agrifood, transport and logistics, retail, and business services.


ENGIE, a pioneer in the cPPA market for over a decade, leverages a portfolio of renewable and flexible assets, combining wind, solar and storage solutions, including batteries, to drive its performance and benefits from the Group’s balanced geographical presence. With a strong historical presence in this market in Europe, Latin America, and the United States, ENGIE intends to continue its growth by making cPPA more accessible to a growing number of businesses and exploring new high-potential countries, such as India.


Edouard Neviaski, Executive Vice President in charge of GBU Supply & Energy Management, explains: “ENGIE’s outstanding performance on the cPPA market reflects our clients’ growing interest in securing their long-term energy supplies, even amid a softening market. The continued trust they place in us to support them in their decarbonization efforts is both a strong recognition and a powerful driver for the daily commitment of ENGIE’s teams.”


ENGIE continues to innovate with the development of its 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy renewable electricity supply solution, which exceeds the scope of annual green energy sourcing. This offer matches site consumption hour by hour with generation from dedicated, local renewable and flexible assets. It thus guarantees traceable electricity while contributing to grid resilience.

(HOUSTON and GALESBURG, IL) Hundreds of households and businesses across Knox County will soon gain access to affordable renewable power as ENGIE North America (ENGIE) brings two new community solar farms online. The clean energy generated by these facilities will be made available to the state’s electric grid. Local residents and businesses subscribe to the solar farms through Ampion, a community solar subscription management company that will oversee subscriber enrollment and customer service.

The Knox 2A and Knox 2B projects, located in Galesburg, Illinois, will generate clean energy, cut carbon emissions and provide meaningful bill savings to local subscribers. Together, the two projects will produce more than 8.2 million kilowatt-hours annually, avoiding over 7,800 tons of carbon dioxide emissions – the same as taking 1,655 cars off the road for a year.

A community solar farm is a privately owned business established to capture energy from the sun and convert it into electricity that flows into the utility grid. Residents and businesses can subscribe to a share of the farm’s output and, in turn, receive credits on their monthly electricity bills that reduce costs. ENGIE owns and operates the Knox solar farms, while Ampion provides subscription management by enrolling new participants and supporting them as customers.

“Community solar is about more than clean power. It’s about ensuring that households – including those with the greatest need – share in the benefits of the shift to clean energy,” said Kristen Fornes, Head of Distributed Solar and Storage for ENGIE. “These projects in Knox County show how renewable energy can strengthen communities, reduce costs and create a healthier future for families.”

More than 60% of the subscriptions are reserved for low-to-moderate income households, who will qualify through existing federal and state programs such as LIHEAP, Medicaid, SNAP, and TANF. These households – along with other local subscribers – will receive 20% savings on the value of solar bill credits applied to their monthly electricity bills.

“Ampion is proud to work with ENGIE to help low-to-moderate income families in Illinois access the cost-saving benefits of community solar,” said Nate Owen, CEO & Founder of Ampion. “With the majority of the benefits reserved for households enrolled in programs like LIHEAP, Medicaid, and SNAP, these solar farms will deliver much-needed electricity savings. We look forward to working with ENGIE throughout the course of these projects, while ensuring subscribers receive real cost savings on their utility bills.”

In total, the Knox solar gardens will benefit 443 households and businesses, delivering economic relief and advancing Illinois’ goals for clean and equitable energy access.

Business Energy Census Highlights Rising Prices,
Volatility, and Shifting Strategies

HOUSTON – ENGIE North America (ENGIE), announced today, in collaboration with Energy Research Consulting Group (ERCG), the release of the 2025 North American Business Energy Census. This third annual report offers valuable market insights and opinions from over 100 aggregators, brokers, and consultants (ABCs), representing approximately 760,000 end-use customer locations.

“During uncertain times, our role as a retail energy supplier provides a critical link between supply and demand,” said Anne-Laure Chassanite, chief executive officer at ENGIE Resources. “Through our steadfast commitment to renewable energy and recognizing voice of customer, we navigate market volatility and help assure a sustainable and resilient future.”

Drawing insights from over 100 survey respondents, ENGIE’s Business Energy Census report highlights the evolving energy sector and the growing importance of strategic energy management for organizations of all sizes. Survey participants include a spectrum of energy management advisor roles with a diverse client base across commercial, industrial, and institutional sectors.


The 2025 Business Energy Census identifies several trends that indicate heightened volatility and uncertainty in the energy market, including:

  • Energy’s Strategic Role: A slight shift in priorities, with 10% of respondents reporting that energy had become less strategic among their end-user clients.

  • Forecast of Rising Prices and Volatility: Expectations of increased volatility in natural gas and power prices.

  • Green Premium Acceptance: A softening in demand for renewable energy with price premiums.

  • Strengthening Regulatory Support: Increasing awareness among ABCs regarding the need for more advocacy and efforts to improve regulatory frameworks.

  • Energy’s Impact on Mergers and Acquisitions: Intensification to secure reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy sources, setting the stage for strategic consolidations and investments.

  • Addressing Market Information Challenges: A slight decline in the perception of the availability of quality market information among ABCs.

Based on the 2025 Business Energy Census results, customers and partners can find observations that highlight the evolving complexities and strategic importance of energy management across diverse business sectors. The report underscores the need for agile and forward-thinking strategies to navigate increased volatility and geopolitical tensions and support the development and delivery of green energy solutions for power and gas customers.
