The company&#39;s <strong>EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) excluding nuclear operations reached \u20ac3.7 billion in Q1 2025<\/strong>, marking an organic increase of 2.1%. This growth was primarily driven by its Infrastructures segment and favorable timing effects.<\/p>\n<p>ENGIE also reported a <strong>Cash Flow From Operations of \u20ac4.0 billion in Q1 2025<\/strong>, while maintaining a robust balance sheet with an economic net debt\/EBITDA ratio reduced to 3.0x. The company&#39;s economic net debt decreased by \u20ac1.8 billion. ENGIE has reaffirmed its full-year 2025 guidance, projecting a net recurring income group share (NRIgs) in the range of <strong>\u20ac4.4-5.0 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Operationally, ENGIE has shown significant activity in renewables and battery energy storage systems (BESS), with <strong>8.5 GW under construction across more than 100 projects<\/strong> by the end of March 2025. Key business highlights include the acquisition of two hydropower plants in Brazil (612 MW) and a portfolio of renewable assets in the United Kingdom (157 MW). The company also secured a new electric substation award in Chile and finalized a nuclear transaction in Belgium.<\/p>\n<h2>France Steps Up Humanitarian Aid to Gaza Amid Dire Conditions<\/h2>\n<p>In a critical move to address the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, French Foreign Minister Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot announced that France would dispatch <strong>four flights, each carrying 10 tonnes of humanitarian aid<\/strong>, from Jordan to Gaza starting Friday, August 1, 2025. This initiative will deliver a total of <strong>40 tonnes of essential supplies<\/strong> to the besieged Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n<p>Minister Barrot underscored the severity of the situation, describing it as &quot;revolting&quot; and emphasizing that while air drops are useful, they are &quot;not sufficient&quot; to meet the immense needs of the population. He highlighted that <strong>52 tonnes of French humanitarian freight remain blocked in El-Arish, Egypt<\/strong>, just 50 kilometers from the Gaza border, stressing the urgent need for Israeli authorities to reopen land access.<\/p>\n<p>Barrot also voiced strong condemnation of the U.S. and Israel-backed aid distribution system operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), stating it has &quot;generated a bloodbath in distribution lines in Gaza&quot; and is a &quot;scandal&quot; that &quot;has to stop.&quot; The UN estimates that over <strong>1,000 people seeking food have been killed near militarized GHF distribution sites since May.<\/strong> This French initiative follows similar air-drop efforts by Britain and Germany, as international concern mounts over the unfolding famine scenario in Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways ENGIE (ENGIY) reported a strong start to 2025, with Q1 EBIT excluding nuclear reaching \u20ac3.7 billion, an
