ENGIE services

The final links in an especially complex chain, distribution networks transport natural gas to the end consumer. Involved in every stage of the natural gas value chain, ENGIE has built up a major distribution network which it maintains and operates, in France and abroad, with a permanent concern for reliability and safety.

ENGIE owns numerous infrastructures related to its activities in LNG regasification, natural gas storage and transport, and electricity and natural gas distribution. Due to the opening up of European energy markets, the access of alternative energy suppliers to these facilities is based on strict principles of transparency and non-discrimination.

Energy storage is a major lever for the energy transition. It makes it possible to develop the production of energies with low CO₂ emissions and to ensure the supply of energy to consumers at all times. So far, the most economic and efficient way to store energy in large quantities is to store it in the form of gas injected into underground reservoirs. A key player in the natural gas market, ENGIE has a storage capacity of more than 136 TWh in Europe, the equivalent of the annual energy needs of more 30 million electric vehicles. The underground storage activities are led by Storengy, a 100% subsidiary of the ENGIE Group. Storengy is the leading storage operator and the leading marketer of energy storage capacity in France and Europe, with its 21 industrial sites: 14 in France, 6 in Germany and 1 in the United Kingdom.
