About ENGIE

ENGIE (formerly Simply Energy) is a major Australian energy retailer serving over 700,000 customer accounts across five states, backed by French energy company ENGIE SA. ENGIE was the first major Australian retailer to exit coal generation and has invested in wind, solar, and battery storage — including the 250 MW Goorambat East Solar Farm and the 200 MW Pelican Point BESS. The company offers GreenPower-accredited products and was ranked first nationally for call centre customer experience in 2025. ENGIE is foreign-owned (France). The Hazelwood coal mine rehabilitation remains a legacy environmental liability for the company.
