French utility and LNG market participant Engie reported a more than 60 percent surge in revenues, though real net income plunged and the company said it was going ahead with an arbitration procedure against Russia’s Gazprom.
Engie, the France-based European utility company, reported an annual profit of €3.7 billion ($4.2Bln) compared with a loss of €1.5Bln in 2020 as the natural gas and power network businesses improved and nuclear turned a profit while renewables were disappointing given the amount of investment and promotion.
Engie of France, whose widespread operations include utilities, gas networks and a liquefied natural gas business, has named Catherine MacGregor as its new Chief Executive after she had previously been lined up to head the LNG engineering spin-off from TechnipFMC.
TechnipFMC, Franco-US energy and LNG engineering company, said its split into two separate listed companies was on track for the first half of 2020 as it posted a 6 percent increase in third-quarter revenues to $3.33 billion as new large-scale LNG contracts were awarded.
