Engie Cofely is wholly owned by ENGIE S.A. (Euronext Paris: ENGI), the French multinational energy company headquartered in Paris. Engie Cofely operates as ENGIE's energy efficiency and multi-technical services brand, serving industrial, commercial, and public sector customers across Europe. The brand was created in 2008 by consolidating several ENGIE (then GDF Suez) energy services subsidiaries under the Cofely name. Engie Cofely employs approximately 12,000 people and generates approximately 2.5 billion euros in annual revenue. The French state holds approximately 23.6 percent of ENGIE's shares.

The Cofely brand was created in 2008 by GDF Suez (which rebranded as ENGIE in 2015) as part of a consolidation of its energy services subsidiaries. The name Cofely was chosen to unify several existing brands, including Cofathec (a leading European energy services company that GDF Suez had built through acquisitions in the 1990s and 2000s), under a single identity. The consolidation aimed to create a stronger market presence and improve operational efficiency across GDF Suez's fragmented energy services operations.
Cofathec, the largest predecessor company, had been formed through the merger of several European energy services companies acquired by GDF Suez (and its predecessor companies) over the preceding two decades. These acquisitions included companies in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom. By consolidating these operations under the Cofely brand, GDF Suez created one of Europe's largest energy services companies.
In 2015, GDF Suez rebranded as ENGIE as part of a broader corporate transformation under then-CEO Isabelle Kocher. The Cofely brand was retained as a subsidiary brand, becoming Engie Cofely. The rebranding reflected ENGIE's strategic shift from a traditional utility focused on natural gas and nuclear power toward a low-carbon energy company focused on renewables, energy efficiency, and decentralized energy solutions.
Under CEO Catherine MacGregor, who joined ENGIE in January 2021, Engie Cofely has continued to focus on energy efficiency services for B2B customers. The division has benefited from growing demand for energy efficiency solutions driven by European Union climate policies, including the Energy Efficiency Directive and the European Green Deal. Companies and public sector organizations are increasingly seeking to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, creating demand for Engie Cofely's services.
In 2022 and 2023, the energy crisis in Europe, driven by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting disruption of natural gas supplies, further increased demand for energy efficiency services. Engie Cofely helped customers reduce their energy consumption through building retrofits, heating system optimization, and energy management systems.
