This performance reflects robust management in the face of global market volatility and an impeccable execution of its decarbonization plan. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ENGIE&#8217;s positive financial balance sheet<\/h2>\n\n<p>Starting this new cycle is the signing of the agreement to acquire 100% of <strong>UK Power Networks<\/strong>. This operation makes the United Kingdom the second most relevant market for the firm in terms of EBIT contribution. Likewise, the <strong>integration of these regulated electricity networks<\/strong> allows the company to ensure stable and predictable income, strengthening its risk profile for international investors and analysts.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Over the last year, the company has increased its installed capacity for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/news\/engie-chile-starts-up-bess-system-in-antofagasta\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"264571\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">storage and green sources<\/a><\/strong> by 6.2 GW. This progress brings the operational total to 57.2 GW, consolidating an asset base that will be fundamental for the goals set for 2028. <\/p>\n\n<p>The projected gross investment strategy, ranging between \u20ac34 billion and \u20ac38 billion, will allocate almost all of its resources to critical infrastructure and batteries, progressively moving away from nuclear dependence.<\/p>\n\n<p>Regarding investor remuneration, the board of directors has proposed a dividend of \u20ac1.35 per share. This payment represents 67% of recurring net income, maintaining an attractive and consistent distribution policy. <\/p>\n\n<p>Despite a slight increase in net financial debt due to contractual commitments in Belgium, economic debt decreased, placing the leverage ratio at a healthy level of 3.1x.<\/p>\n\n<p>The organization expects its recurring earnings to remain stable, with a target of reaching up to \u20ac5.8 billion by the end of 2028. The focus will be on ensuring that the majority of EBIT comes from regulated activities or long-term contracts. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Source and photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsroom.engie.com\/news\/engie-fy-2025-results-95f16-314df.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ENGIE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The organization expects its recurring earnings to remain stable, with a target of reaching up to \u20ac5.8 billion by the end of 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8404,"featured_media":340379,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categoria_noticias":[13026,13044],"etiqueta_noticias":[],"class_list":["post-340437","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria_noticias-energy","categoria_noticias-new-energies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/340437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/noticias"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8404"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/noticias\/340437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria_noticias?post=340437"},{"taxonomy":"etiqueta_noticias","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/etiqueta_noticias?post=340437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
