Engie acquires UK Power Networks for £10.5bn
Change
Engie agreed to buy UK Power Networks, the operator of about 192,000 km of power lines serving 8.5 million customers across London, the south‑east and east of England, for £10.5bn.
Why it matters
The sale transfers control of major regional electricity distribution assets to a France‑headquartered utility, which makes future investment and operational priorities subject to Engie's strategic and risk‑management goals. That centralisation means decisions on grid upgrades and capacity planning that support decarbonisation will be driven by Engie's capital‑allocation and transition priorities.
