Houston – September 17, 2026 -- ENGIE has won a 2026 Green Power Leadership Award for Market Innovation from the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS), recognizing its Energy+ 24/7 solution that matches renewable energy purchases to customers' hourly electricity consumption rather than annual totals.
