Engie North America has announced the departure of CEO David Carrol after six years, during which the company expanded its renewables and storage portfolio to 11GW. The firm operates 3.275GW of onshore wind and 3.5GW of grid-scale battery storage, along with an undisclosed capacity of grid-scale solar.
Last year, Engie struck a deal with Meta for 1.3GW of renewable capacity across four Texas projects. Under Carrol, the company's ambitions in offshore wind faced challenges due to inflation and financing issues.
Ocean Winds, Engie's joint venture with EDPR, is still developing its SouthCoast Wind project in Massachusetts, despite setbacks. Chassanite aims to maintain the company's strategic focus on energy solutions.
