ENGIE has acquired a 212 MW ready-to-build onshore wind farm in Bad Berleburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, doubling its wind capacity in Germany. Initially developed by Westfalen WIND, the project includes 32 turbines and will generate over 500 GWh/year of renewable electricity, enough to power the equivalent of 142,000 households. Construction is underway, with full operations expected in 2027. Prior to this acquisition, ENGIE owned a portfolio of wind, hydro and storage assets in operation or under construction with a total capacity of about 450 MW in Germany. Locally, ENGIE pursues an ambitious growth strategy in renewables and storage through repowering, greenfield development and targeted acquisitions.
Latest news
ENGIE completed the total energization of the BESS Tocopilla project. The newly installed lithium-ion battery large scale energy storage system is located at the former Tocopilla coal-fired power generation units, thus providing key infrastructure for the country's energy transition. With an installed capacity of 116 MW and 660 MWh, distributed in 240 batteries and 30 PCS, this initiative is directly connected to the transmission network, allowing energy to be stored during periods of lower demand and delivered during peak hours, providing flexibility, stability and security to the National Electric System. The project is now awaiting its entry into commercial operation.
As a further step in its commitment to contribute to Chile’s energy transition, ENGIE announced a new large-scale battery project called BESS Lile. This project is located at the Mejillones thermal power plant in the Antofagasta region, which is currently undergoing a complete conversion from coal to cleaner energy sources. With 140 MW / 802 MWh of storage capacity, BESS Lile will provide up to five hours of backup power, enough to supply more than 84,000 homes. Scheduled to enter operation in the second half of 2026, BESS Lile will enhance flexibility and security for Chile’s National Electric System while supporting renewable integration.
ENGIE's battery project in Drogenbos has been selected for a 15-year capacity contract, starting in November 2027, as part of the fifth auction of the Capacity Remuneration Mechanism (CRM), launched by Elia, the high-voltage grid operator. The construction of the upcoming 80 MW / 320 MWh BESS is scheduled to begin in March 2026 and be completed by September 2027. Comprising 88 battery modules, the site will be able to supply power for up to four hours, equivalent to the average daily electricity consumption of 38,400 households.This project, following Vilvoorde (200 MW / 800 MWh) and Kallo (100 MW / 400 MWh), will enable the Group to reach nearly 400 MW of battery storage capacity in Belgium, marking another significant step forward in the country’s energy transition.
ENGIE and its partner Foresight Australia have won the Australian federal government’s tender to extend the existing Willogoleche Wind Farm, located northwest of Hallett, South Australia. This expansion will nearly double the existing project capacity, adding up to 20 turbines and 108 MW of new renewable energy to the energy grid. The “Willogoleche 2” project will begin in late 2026 and is expected to be commissioned in 2028. ENGIE and Foresight have committed to a community benefit fund of $65,000 per year for the life of the project, which will include ENGIE offering up to $1,000 in annual electricity rebates through its retail arm to eligible nearby neighbours. This project contributes to ENGIE’s goal of reaching more than 3 GW of renewable energy capacity in Australia by 2030.
ENGIE will begin construction of two battery energy storage systems in the counties of Galați and Sibiu, respectively located in the east and center of the country, with commissioning scheduled for 2026.The first project, located in the commune of Băleni, Galați County, will have a capacity of 5 MW and 10 MWh of storage. It will supply electricity to the grid for two hours at full capacity and will be connected to a nearby 50 MW operational wind farm. Construction is expected to start in the first quarter 2026, with commissioning planned for summer.The second project, in Sibiu County, will have an installed capacity of 80 MW and 160 MWh of storage. All the necessary permits have been obtained and commercial operation is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Imerys, a global leader in specialty mineral solutions, has signed a 10-year Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with ENGIE to supply the energy needs of its Spanish site and accelerate its decarbonization. This tailor-made agreement includes the construction of 3 solar power plants with a total annual production capacity of 200 GWh of renewable electricity, covering 24% of Imerys’ electricity needs in continental Europe. These new renewable energy parks will be operational in early 2026 and early 2027, and will avoid the emission of 70,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.
Daikin, a global leader in air conditioners manufacturing, signed a 5-year deal with ENGIE to power all its Texas facilities with 100% renewable electricity, including the Daikin Texas Technology Park (DTTP), home to its largest manufacturing site and North American headquarters. This partnership brings Daikin closer to its goal of making DTTP a net-zero emissions facility by 2030. Under the agreement, Daikin will source clean electricity from the Impact Solar project in North Texas, which is owned and operated by a third party and has been in commercial operation since 2021.
ENGIE acquires the Corsico cogeneration plant, located in the suburbs of Milan, becoming the sole operator of the city's district heating system thanks to the vertical integration of production and distribution. This acquisition contributes to strengthening ENGIE's position in the district heating sector in Italy, becoming the third-largest operator in the country. ENGIE manages 14 active networks, including 4 in Lombardy: Lonato del Garda, Segrate, Cinisello Balsamo and Corsico. The 16.5 MW cogeneration unit is powered 70% by residual heat from the Verallia factory, a leading glass manufacturer. It is connected to the urban heating network acquired in 2021, which spans 6 km and supplies 37 buildings. The adoption of thermal recovery and cogeneration systems allows avoiding the emission of approximately 2,200 tons of CO2 each year.
ENGIE has been awarded a project to develop and operate the district heating network for the city of Burgos, in the region of Castile and León, for a period of 35 years. With an investment of over €30 million, the network will span 10 km and supply 65 GWh/year through an innovative technological mix based on renewable and recovered energy. It will cover the needs of 7,300 households. Energy production will be based on16 MW of biomass, 4.5 MW of biogas, 500 kW of geothermal energy, and a 2,800 m³ thermal storage tank. The construction is set to begin in late 2025. Furthermore, the design of this network allows for possible future expansions in both capacity and coverage, offering a scalable infrastructure that is ready to accompany the evolution and growth of local energy demand.
ENGIE and Lesaffre have inaugurated a waste heat recovery unit at the Marcq-en-Barœul site, in northern France, operated by the industrial yeast and fermentation specialist. The project was entrusted to ENGIE for 15 years, covering the design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of the unit. The main principle of this installation is to recover the waste heat naturally produced by yeast fermentation. The energy recovered by the two heat pumps, with a total capacity of 19 MWth, is used to power another important stage in the yeast production process: drying. These two heat pumps will cover 70% of the site’s heat needs, saving 30,000 tons of CO₂ and 150,000 m³ of water annually. This project aligns with Lesaffre’s CSR strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
BLA BLA BLA ... Tellement Inutile !
les ENR sont une opération de détournement de fonds publique, de destruction du patrimoine et de mise en précarité des populations qui les utilise ! Et surtout, elles multiplient les émissions de carbone !
La energía en sus diferentes ópticas, es un recurso fundamental para el desarrollo tecnológico, la calidad de vida, la transformación en el mundo moderno. Generar fuentes renovables representa un paso crucial hacia el futuro energético sostenible, y el impulso a una era mas saludable para todos.
En France pourquoi augmente t on notre électricité ? A quoi c est dû toutes ces taxes?
Impressive to see ENGIE's global reach and diverse strategies, from doubling wind capacity in Germany to grid flexibility solutions in Chile and renewable power partnerships in North America. This truly highlights a comprehensive approach to driving the energy transition.
